 Hello All,
 
 I am trying to reboot with genvmunix and run sizer in order to create
 device files for some new equipment and have discoverd the following
 problem (this problem occurs while booting vmunix also).
 
 When booting to single user mode a file domain containing /usr fails to
 mount. I suppose that explains why I get this message when trying to go to
 run level 2 or 3 as getty is in /usr/sbin:
    INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors
> id: cons "/usr/sbin/getty console console vt100"
 
 I was unable to mount it manually either. I got an error message about it
 not being a valid ADVFS. However, when booting straight to level 3 there
 is no problem.
 
 /etc/fstab and /etc/inittab look good to me, but I've included them below.
 
 The link for it is correct as well.
 
 root#ls -l /etc/fdmns/usr_domain/
 total 280
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 9 Apr 23 13:31 rz8g -> /dev/rz8g
 
 root#more /etc/fstab
 root_domain#root / advfs rw 0 0
 /proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
 usr_domain#usr /usr advfs rw 0 0
 /dev/rz8b swap1 ufs sw 0 2
 datatel_domain#release /datatel/release advfs rw 0 0
