4 questions. 2 notes.

/questions
1 how do I mount the dos partition on my root cf disk(256mb).
	dos is partition 1 and bsd is partition 2. I have no swap, anyone
have problems with no swap?

2 how do I mount the single partition on my CF to pcmcia disk(128mb)?
	In the dmesg it lists it as wdc2 then as wd1. I mainly use linux
so I made it an ext2 disk. I'm assuming this is ok, must it be ffs?

3 How do I union mount that pcmcia disk(128) correctly.
	It has all the compiling tools on it. I was doing it over nfs like
this:
mount -o union,exec machine:/nfs/z50/usr /usr

	the two problems are;
	1 it still wont execute binaries, what am I missing?
	2 changes are made to the 128 not the 256. Can this change?

4 Can I union mount / ? It seems no.
	machine:/nfs/z50 has an unzip of the comp.tgz package with /usr
and /lib. do I need to mount them seperately? It would make sence.

/notes
1 I lied thats too many quetions.
