I'm not sure if this is a Question or a Bug, but here goes.

Hardware:
	33Mhz 386DX
	240M Hard drive & 52M Hard drive (both Quantum)
	8M Ram + Math Co-processor
	Western Digital Ether
	Super VGA

Anyway, my desire is to create a second partition for 386BSD on my
52M Drive (Whole drive) and it is the slave drive.

I create the disktab entry for my 52M IDE:

qp52at|Quantum Peripherals 52MB IDE:\
	:dt=ESDI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#8:ns#17:nc#751:sf:\
	:pa#95136:oa#0:ta=4.2BSD:ba#4096:fa#512:

	     ^
	     +--- This is not even the whole drive.  I have tried 102136
						     which is the whole thing.

I do the disklabel command: disklabel -w -r wd1 qp52at
  where 'qp52at' is the entry I made.

I do the 'newfs /dev/rwd1a' (The whole disk) under my label.

I do 'mount /dev/wd1a /mnt' and copy stuff over to it no problem.

I do 'umount /mnt' no problems so far.

I do 'shutdown -h now' & the reboot the system.

When the system comes back up, I do: 'mount /dev/wd1a /mnt' and
I get the following error:

	/dev/wd1a on /mnt: Bogus Superblock

Am I forgetting something? or is this a real bug?
