I have seen a few mails concerning this topic, but none quite like my   
problem (and none of the solutions offered seemed to work).

I am using netBSD 1.1 (with a recompiled kernel from a friend) on a IIsi   
with a 160 MB HD.  I partitioned the drive into 4 partitions, ~5MB MacOS,   
~25MB swap, ~80MB root&usr, and the remaining I was going to mount as a   
volatile user area.  The problem is, I can't seem to get it to mount.  I   
have tried formatting it as every different kind of partition that seemed   
likely (user #1, #2 etc..., root&usr, root, unix free etc...), and before   
I get flamed, I did run mkfs on each before trying to mount.

I also have tried mounting it as sd0c-sd0g and for sd0c it seems to find   
the filesystem, but says it has a bad superblock (I tried alternates, but   
same response).  fsck can't fix the problem.  Do I have a bad disk?  Did   
I screw something else up?

I realize I can just reformat the two filesystem partitions into one huge   
one, but I was going to try to avoid that, since I have a bunch of stuff   
configured already...

Thanks in advance.
