okay, for now i'm moving my quantum 270 back to my MacOS
i was able to copy the /usr on the second disk back to the root disk, while
in single user, and being able to write on the root partition.
so, i got an 80MB old prodrive. NetBSD surprisingly liked it but i'm having
problems getting it to mount.
it's formatted with apple HD SC Setup (it's an apple 80MB-er) and
partitioned as "Usr Slice" or soemthing like that. slice 3 if i remember
correctly, there was no slice 1 or 2.
what are the advantages of having a "usr" partition rather than "root&usr"?
what's the difference, should i say?
disklabel now shows a partition "a" with the size of 16k (32 512-byte
blocks), "c" as 164058 blocks, and g as "163962". what's g and what's c?
there should be either one or the other, not both. g has an fstype of
4.2BSD, so i tried mounting that first, but no luck (mount /dev/sd2g
/usr/src) as the kernel panic'ed with a "mode sense returned nonsense"
error. same with "c" as i tried later.
maybe i'll go ahead and make the partition root&usr....it might work...
