Nope, the problem is definitely the kernel not recognising the partition
table on bootup. So god knows whats wrong. I`m gonna rip the drive out,
shove it back in the miggie and analyse the drive with reorg. Possibly
the old AFS filesystem I was using on a couple of partitions has rearranged
the parition table.

Amiga formatted floppy disks (ffs for an A600) cannot be read by any
machine other than an Amiga without some extra hardware. This is due
to an inferiority in PC floppy controllers. ;)
