	Hopefully someone can help me with what is probably a stupid
error on my part. I am currently trying to install FFS partitions on a
freshly reformatted harddisk. I have a GVP scsi board and a Seagate
ST251N. I have had no problems with this setup in the past. I have a
small initial partition that has been formatted normally, and follow
that with a 8.4 meg partition that I have formatted with the FFS
option. My mountlist entry for that partition looks like this:
FH0:      Device = scsidev.device
           Unit   = 1
           Flags  = 0
           Surfaces  = 4
           BlocksPerTrack = 16
           Reserved = 2
           Interleave = 0
           LowCyl = 27;  HighCyl = 305
           Buffers = 30
           BufMemType = 0
           Stacksize = 6000
           Globvec = -1
           Filesystem = sys:l/FastFileSystem
           Dostype = 0x444F5301
           
#
	The drive formats fine, and I can copy files to the FFS
partition and from it with no problem. When I try to run something,
though, the machine gurus. My small "normal" partition works fine.
I have FastFileSystem in my L: directory and scsidev.device in my
Expansion directory. I've triple checked everything. 
	I have played with this for two days now. Anyone that has done
this successfully, I would appreciated any advice or suggestions. I
feel quite stupid right now.
