On my brand new baby, a old 3B15 with two 340MB FSD disk drives, i
found a very strange problem (for me):

I set up two filesystems on disk 1 (which is the 2nd drive);
partition 1s6 (first 180992 blocks) is /user1
partition 1s2 (sec. 180992 blocks till 361984) is /user2
partition 1s3 is unused (yet)

I set up my homedirectory in /user1/mars

After logging in i issue the 'pwd' command. It says:

           pwd: cannot open ..

Then i did 'cd /user1' and 'cd'. After that pwd works.
What is broken here. The .. entry is there. Did i do the
mounting wrong?

Thanx

      Martin
