I am trying to move to 1.4.1 from 1.3.3, but each kernel I try always fails
on

boot device: sd1
root on sd1a dumps on sd1b
PRAM: 0x37d769df, macos_boottime 0x37d769c6
root file system type: ext2fs
bad directory entry: rec_len % 4 != 0
offset=0, inode=891834945, rec_len=8233, nmae_len=8224
panic: ext2fs_dirbadentry
Stopped in swapper as _Debugger+0x6:  unlk a6
db>

This looks like the boot trying to mount the root file system but in thinks
it is an 'ext2fs' format when the partition is formatted as 'ffs' as
reported by 1.3.3

How do I tell the booter to mount sd1a as 'ffs' and not 'ext2fs'

Why is it making this choice anyway?

I have tried the kernels for 1.4, 1.4.1 and current snapshot.

My system is a standard MacIIcx with 8meg and two SCSI harddrives and NuBus
ethernet.
