I'm having a problem in getting a custom configuration
working. I wanted to build a system (486 UMC chipset, 8 MB (yet), 64MB root fs,
32 MB swap, rest (approx. 970 MB) for /usr - there may be wiser partitionings
but for a first try I thought so).

The disktab entry speaks for itself:


m2266s|M2266S|M2266S-512|FUJITSU M2266S-512 Winchester:\
	:dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#15:ns#82:nc#1705:\
	:pa#127920:oa#0:ta=4.2BSD:ba#4096:fa#512:\
	:pb#63960:ob#127920:tb=swap:\
->>	:pc#2097150:oc#0:\
|       :ph#1905270:oh#191880:th=4.2BSD:bh#4096:fh#512
|
|
->>  This number is not what is maximally available, but it's close to.

I booted the fixit floppy and followed Chris's instructions (FAQ) with the
exception that I first did a 

mknod as0h b 4 7
mknod ras0h c 13 7 

and mounted /dev/as0a /mnt and /dev/as0h /mnt1 

Then I cpio'ed the / /bin /sbin stuff to /mnt and the /usr stuff into the
/mnt1 directory, as I'm expecting to have a separate /usr filesystem.

Now when I boot the first time from hard disk I get

cyl 0 0 hd 0 sect 0 dev 4 unit 0 off 0

changing root device to as0a
as0: attached tgt 0 <FUJITSU M2266S-512 0020> winchester disk

-----lock o'city
The system hangs here frozen. Sometimes I still got key response.
Same appearance when I tried the first time without having an extra
/usr fs.

What is wrong, what am I missing? Is it the big swap? Is it the separate /usr
partition?

In any case, here is my disklabel entry:
