Thanks for your reply!
I'm sure that I compiled the ufs file system support into the
2.4.0 kernel. I created the Solaris directory is under /.
I don't know why I'm getting the "WARNING: bad format on line 11 of
/etc/fstab" during booting. The /etc/fstab is ten lines long, and
I opened it in emacs while in X to confirm that there is no blank
line at the top of the file.
I'm also getting:
"Feb 18 03:12:52 localhost kernel: ufs_read_super: bad magic number"
during boot. I've attached a more concise text file from booting.
Would it be possible for you to take a look at it to see if there
is a clue that I may be missing?
Thanks in advance.
