hard disk problem

We've been having some problems trying to add a Wren VI to our system.  We
presently have a 330 Mb drive from which we want to continue to boot. We used
Ronald Antony's formatting program and  we used "disk" to install a filesystem
The problem is that we are unable to mount the filesystem.  We added an 
entry to /private/etc/fstab and it now looks like
/dev/sdoa / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
/dev/sd1a /newdisk 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 2
We tried to mount using /usr/etc/mount /dev/sd1a /newdisk  but we get a
message "Device is busy.  Giving up on /newdisk."  The filesystem seems to be
mounted (we can read and write to it), but Disk Info in the Workspace Manager 
doesn't work.  Furthermore, when we reboot, the system spends a long time
checking the 330Mb drive and tells us that it has made repairs.  Perhaps this
is because we didn't unmount before rebooting?  Can anyone help?
Please send any suggestions to cfcgf@ecncdc.bitnet if possible. Thanks.
