Summary: automount dosen't work?


Well, I've just purchased FWB's Hard Disk Partition today and after playing 
with it for a while I thought, "wow a pretty neat utility".  Then I decided
to make one of the partitions I created be an "automount" partition.

Boom!  When I rebooted the Mac the boot sequence will start, but after a 
while the Mac will just sit deadlocked while displaying the StartupScreen.
I first thought this might have something to do with the other INITs which I
had in my system so I managed to remove them from my HD's system folder and
the problem still occurs.

I've also notice another problem:  From time to time, I'd create a partition
and then try to copy a block of files from the HD to the partition and the
Finder would just freeze, displaying a watch with spinning hands.  This
occurs before the Finder puts up the "number of file to copy: " stuff.

Has anyone else experienced any problems such as these?  Any ideas on what
to do?  BTW, this is my configuration:

System: 4.1
Finder: 5.5
Mac:    Mac Plus, 1Mb, 96k allocated for cache
HD:     Dataframe 20, version 2.6 drivers, initialization version 2.1(?)
FWB Partition: 1.05
