	Remove the "filesystem" line, or point it at a copy of the 1.3 FFS
(don't put it in l:fastfilesystem!)  Remember, FFS is now in ROM, so there's
no l:fastfilesystem normally.  On your A3000Install disk there is a copy
of the disk-based version of the new OFS/FFS filesystem for use in rigid-
diskblocks.
