I setup a new partition using Silverlining and formated it using the Mkfs
utility - it came up as sd2h. When I tried to mount it it said the file
system wasn't clean and when I returned to MacOS I couldn't mount my
external disk - it gave a 127 error.  I fixed the disk with Norton. Also I
always have got this error "Error on SCSIRead(), # 5" every time I start up
the MacBSD Install Utility 1.0 - Here is my setup:

Internal 160mb Factory Quantum
Internal CD-ROM
External 1080mb Quantum

sd0a: HFS 'MacOS' at 96 size 320000
sd0b: Other (APPLE_FREE) 'Extra' at 64 size 32
sd0d: Other (APPLE_DRIVER43) 'Macintosh_SL' at 325216 size 64
sd0e: Other (APPLE_RECOVERY) 'MacOS' at 320096 size 5120
sd0f: Other (APPLE_FREE) 'Extra' at 325280 size 9973
sd0g: Other (APPLE_DRIVER43) 'Macintosh_SL' at 325216 size 64
Error on SCSIRead(), # 5
sd2a: Root 'BSD Root' at 1734288 size 200000
sd2g: Usr 'usr - Usr file system' at 1998288 size 40000
sd2b: Swap 'Swap' at 1934288 size 64000
sd2d: Other (APPLE_DRIVER43) 'Macintosh_SL' at 64 size 64
sd2e: HFS 'NEW' at 128 size 1734160
sd2f: Other (APPLE_FREE) 'Extra' at 2038288 size 96001

*** Removed the 'h' partition before capturing this

One additional note of interest is the fstab:

/dev/sd1a       /       ufs     rw 1 1
/dev/sd1b       none    swap    sw 0 0
/dev/sd1g       /user    ufs     rw 1 2
kern            /kern   kernfs  rw 0 0
proc            /proc   procfs  rw 0 0

What is going on?

I'd really like to add another partition. Am I hitting some limit?

Thanks in advance,
