Hi folks.  MacBSD is cool.  Just had to get that out of my system.  ;-)

Ok, lots of questions:

1)  I formatted my drive to have  ~60MB (122760 512K blocks)  When the
kernel boots df -k says I have 46467K total.  Is this normal?  I realize
there is some overhead involved withthe filesystem but 15M seem liek too
much ;-)

Drive: Segate 80M  817 cyln 6 head 34 sec/track 512bytes/sec
I ran mkfs with 1 spare sec/track, and 16 cyln/group, 512 bytes/inodes
Are these reasonable?


2) Does disklabel work?  Can it be used on the root drive?  'disklabel -r
sd0' lists the label but says it's damaged (no magic number I think) and it
also list some funky numbers for some nonexistent partitions.  I tried to
clean it up, but all the the write/edit forms of the command don't seem to
do anything...?  Should I even be messing with the label?


3)  Is there anyway of getting the Installer not to mount the second macbsd
partition as /usr ?  I can change the fstab so that when I boot macbsd it
mounts it on whatever I want, but the installer seems to always mount it on
/usr.  

4)  What's the difference between booting in single user or not?

5) Can you tell by now that I've never administrated unix before?  :-)

System stuff:
MacIIcx
Apple 1024*768 b&w two page screen (it's actually a third party card)
        (I do get some funny characters randomly on my screen when I
         switch consoles, but a redraw fixes them)
Ethernet A-Series, A-Series        (What the latest on ethernet drivers?  :-)
one 80M mac drive
one 80M drive with 60M A/UX partition
two serial ports that work!  Cool!
        (I've used kermit successfully)
Kensington Turbo Mouse (doesn't mess up the adb drivers 
                        - well not most of the time ;-)
I've been using generic #48
        (I tried netbsd-current but it list lots of copies of my drive)
