The second version of the patch-set (19990221) works much better than the first with a newly-installed 2.2.2 kernel on an i386 system. Silly of me not to realize that the kernel would load the appropriate module when a BFS partition is mounted (as I too-hastily posted in the message which began this thread).
I haven't had any kernel error messages at all with the new patch. Copying and viewing files works fine, though the symlinks don't point to the correct files, since Be calls '/' '/boot'. I noticed that the Midnight Commander's internal file-viewer is confused somehow by Be ASCII text files and displays them strangely, though editors and the Most pager can load the files and display them well. The file utility identifies Be files correctly. Good work! If you do succeed in making the bfs driver read-write won't that confuse the Be system when it boots?
