Hi,
	I am lucky I'm dutch so I am able to understand some german :-)
But I would kindly request you to switch to english on a international

Mmmmm, I was just thinking about 'the Ulimate File System' :-)

True, I found this out this evening, I will update MAKEDEV (and mayby later
the boot-floppy). If you _really_ want to mount it rw, you have to mount
a writable partition, do: "mknod rd0 b 1 0" and "mount rd0 /".

The problems with the MESSDOS compatible filesystems is probably with
Atari. I already had mycroft release the checking on some of the boot
block (so it works an all _my_ DOS partitions) but this obviously was
not enough. It seems that Atari is making a mess of the boot-block.
The current checks are:
    	pmp->pm_BytesPerSec != 0
      pmp->pm_SectPerClust != 0
	   Heads <= 255
	   SecPerTrack <= 63
If these conditions are not met, the kernel refuses to mount it. I think
we should find out what's wrong and maybe suggest a machine compatible hook
to check the boot-block.

About the 'real-mem' values, I just got a message from cgd that I'm wrong
here (Big brother is watching us :-) ). Realmem should be really Realmem,
not a big deal but I'll put it on my todo-list...
