  FastFileSystem partitions have to be mounted via the "MOUNT" command.
  Check your startup-sequence and mountlist.

  On my 2nd HD I use a partition of only 136K.  On the 1st (boot) HD
  I use a partition of 1.1M but its only 27% full.  My reason for
  having a large OFS partition is that the 2090A boots my Amiga from
  it ;-)

   Hey you know that it took CBM alot of years to get their manuals
   that way. Matter of fact I think they have a copyright on confusing
   manuals :-)
