- Since a lot of the stuff on root and /mac are used a lot, putting
- them on seperate disks will help out.

- The reason autlaunching won't work is, as you said, because it needs the
- /mac stuff to put up progress bars, etc. When you specify 'launch -v' you
- bypass that. Upon boot up it may expect /mac to be there for other things
- as well... I would guess that A/UX "expects" /mac to be on root like
- other UNIXs expect /etc to be on root.
