We are switching over to a 386 Intel running SCO 2.3.1. I have set up 2 filesystems root 200 + megs and /u 90 Meg. We have about 10 meg of memory. fsck runs fine on the /u file system. when run with any type of option (I have tried them all) on the root filesystem it seems to start out ok /dev/root ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes Then about 1 minute later the prompt comes back. No error messages, never a mention of continuing with phase 2. No errors in bootlog. I do not have a /dev/scratch. I have tried setting SCRATCH=/dev/rfd... in /etc/default/boot. And also tried the -t option with /dev/fd0. No change. I have altered /etc/default/filesys many times and nothing has helped. Help appreciated anyone! Thanks. -- Brendan J.

For us, the problem ONLY occurred with the root file system and it was a major problem.
