	Hi, I'm trying to build a 386bsd system on 3 partitions on a quantum lp120a disk drive. This is the way the disk is labelled.

	blocks/sector:    512
	sectors/track:     32
	tracks/cylinder:    9
	sectors/cylinder: 288
	cylinders:	  813

	5 partitions:
	    size	offset	type	bsize	fsize	cpg
	a:  13824	     0	4.2BSD	512	4096	16
	b:  40320	 13824	swap
	c: 233856	     0	unused
	d: 165888	 54432	4.2BSD	512	4096	16
	e:  13824	220320	4.2BSD	512	4096	16

	When I newfs the a,d and e partitions and mount them I get a problem. If
I newfs the a partition first and then the d partition, then when I mount them
they both behave as the d partition and if I newfs the d first and mount them they behave as the a partition. I can newfs the h partition and mount it separately with no problem. What am I doing wrong. Help me before I go insane.
