Hi All, vegie problem stations again.

I got XFree86 working, but now have had absolutely no luck in either
of the following two:

(1)	Getting a swap partition set up (I am from System V, so have
	not a clue about BSD).

(2)	Making floppies writeable. mount -u /dev/fd0a doesn't work.

Also, what purpose is the fixit disk?

Anyway, would love some help from someone who knows. 386BSD is great,
just not all that wonderful for people who aren't super-gurus to
begin with.

Cheers,
Craig.
