Help! I'm having a strange problem with my A2000 and 2.0. I installed 2.0 today. I have an A2000 (Rev 4.2 Motherboard) with a Pacific Peripherals Overdrive SCSI controller (with the autoboot daughterboard installed) and a quantum 80S hard drive. My problem is that after having installed 2.04, I edited the mountlists for my hard drive partitions, but now, whichever hard drive partition I try to mount first comes back as "NOT A DOS DISK" and the mount of the second partition works. I have removed the references to L:Fastfilesystem and the GlobVec entries in the mountlist, so I am at somewhat of a loss here. I did reformat the boot partition as FFS prior to installing 2.04, and can get either of the two partitions to successfully mount (provided it is the second one that I try). I'm at a loss here, so any help would be appreciated. Bob Kline – via Whap!

If you reformatted your hard drive BEFORE installing V2.04, then you are NOT running the new V2 FFS. You must install V2.04 before you reformat your drive. Cheers, Paul (WA1OMM) 4
