  During the last couple of days I've ran into some strange behavior on DU
  v4.0B
  
  1.
  A disk used on an Ultrix-machine was to be set up as a second swap and
  an AdvFS-domain.

(The disk _was_ used on an ultrix-machine and then placed on the
DU-machine)
Yes, I had run "disklabel -z" in front, but I guess an in-use a-partition
caused the trouble. I didn't write fstype as I would do this by
"mkfdmn -t advfs ..", but I'll put AdvFS there next time!

  8 partitions:
  # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
    a: 131072 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -85*)

Thanks to my boss,

  2.
  The batch command. According to "man batch":

--> /var/adm/cron/queuedefs
