- I installed the 3.0 micro kernel on a Decstation that has
- Dec Ultrix on it... The non-root partitions could not be
- mounted because the major number for device special files
- were 21 (what Ultrix expects). ...
-
- Mach 3.0 wants a major number = 8 :-).....
-
- Once I created device special files with major 8, I was
- able to mount the /usr and other partitions....

-
-
- True... I believe the Superroot is only available via the
- Andrew file system....
