Just a few questions!

How can I kill/restart the shell on the serial port? So far all attempts
have failed.

Is is possible to mount a floppy/hard disk partition on /tmp? When I
try all I get is a 'mount: Device busy' message.

Just been rebuilding my disk partitions, and mkfs gets upset if I
specify a partition size > 8500 blocks. Perhaps its because I'm
using an XT driver hacked to get the Seagate ST238R to go.

Kermit works perfectly on my 10MHz XT at 2400 baud, no lost packets, but
it doesn't seem to be able to send breaks. To login on our mainframe, I've
got to drag over another terminal, send a break with it, and plug the XT
back in. Anybody else have this trouble?

And finally, someone mentioned that some patching would allow the
/dev/hd3 partition to be mounted directly, with no need for a RAM disk.
Did I miss it as it went passed? Any references to postings would be
helpful.

That's about it. Happy New Year eveyone !!
