Hi all,

thanks to Ted's advice, I was able to write a NetBSD disklabel onto the 
disk, copy the miniroot onto it (btw, the option in the dd command should 
read seek=65536 rather than skip=65536), and boot the 5000/120 in single 
user mode. So far, so good. I now created a 'b' partition at the 
beginning of the disk (/dev/rz1b extends from block 0 to 65535, /dev/rz1a 
from 65536 to 231561), and an 'e' partition right after the 'a' one, 
newfs'd them, but I seem to fail to mount the /dev/rz1b:

# mount /dev/rz1b /a
/dev/rz1b on /a: Device busy

How can I force to mount this partition? (Mounting the 'e' partition 
works fine.)

The second problem concerns mounting an Ultrix partition. I copied the 
base.tar archive as well as the tar binary to /dev/rz2b, a disk under 
Ultrix' control. Mounting that partition under NetBSD returns, not 
surprisingly,

/dev/rz2b on /tmp/ultrix: Incorrect super block

and I can't seem to see any of the files. Needless to say that disklabel 
reports some default values which do not reflect the real partitioning of 
the disk.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Helge
