	We were having odd problems like this. It turns out that 
the sequencing of partitions is important, in that the logical 
partitions need to physically occur in sequence.

	It is not documented. I guess it is one of those things 
that most folks always do a certain way, and easily make assumptions 
about. Our problmes were very much like yours, weird things with newfs 
and mounting etc.. I was wanting to make it possible to leave part of 
the drive available for another system, so we had need to be weird.

	Could someone tell me where to find out more about the 
physical part of the partition table? I need to have the first two 
sectors available for the other system to lay down its 
partition table, if I'm to do this...
