I guess you're right about the FAT32 problem.  I backed up my system and
reformatted my drive to use the FAT16 file system.  I also included a
NetBSD (type 165) partition at the end of the drive to make `disklabel'ing
a little easier.  My disklabel now looks like:

# /dev/rsd0d:
type: SCSI
disk: dors
label: 
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 263
total sectors: 4225095
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0		# milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0	# milliseconds
drivedata: 0 

5 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:    96390  4096575    4.2BSD      512  4096     0 	# (Cyl.  255 - 260)
  c:    96390  4096575    unused        0     0       	# (Cyl.  255 - 260)
  e:  4096512       63     MSDOS                    	# (Cyl.    0*- 254*)

(I had to actually edit the disklabel to make the type for partition e
MSDOS) I'm now able to mount the sd0e as a dos partition and get a listing
of the root directory (using ls), but whenever I try to read or write to
the partition I get:

	panic: allocbuff: buffer larger than MAXBSIZE requested

Any ideas?  Thanks.
