`ncsuvx!hgm' has apparently fallen victim to the same error I
got bitten by while trying to get the FFS up on a GVP hard card.

His mountlist entry, as paraphrased, was:


option. My mountlist entry for that partition looks like this:
FH0:      Device = scsidev.device
           ;
           ; stuff deleted
           ;
           Stacksize = 6000
           Globvec = -1   		;	<-- This is the culprit!
           Filesystem = sys:l/FastFileSystem
           Dostype = 0x444F5301
           
#

Ha!  Looked in the devs:mountlist file on the WB1.3 distribution disks,
didja?  Cut the FFS-pertinent lines out of the example `FAST:' device
and pasted them into your own device list, huh, as if they were supposed
to work or something?

Never mind that the example shows the value of `Globvec' to be -1,
it's supposed to be just plain 1, like the Enhancer Software manual
says on page A-2.

Never mind that we don't know what'n'ell `Globvec' does, and that its only
description (page 3-2) suggests that its only standard values are zero
an minus one, just as the sample mountlist shows.  Use positive one.


Hopefully helpfully,
