Hi... I'm trying to set up netbsd together with my linux partition..

I was a having a lot of problems, and since my drive was new, I tried
setting up netbsd first, then installed linux. NetBSD has never
successfully loaded, despite the installer's claims that the install
succeeded. The drive is an 8.4G, and the configuration is thus:

--- fdisk -l -------------------
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1027 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 288 2313328+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 289 838 4417875 5 Extended
/dev/hda3 1025 1027 24097+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 839 1024 1492344 a5 BSD/386
/dev/hda5 289 821 4281291 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 822 838 136521 82 Linux swap
--------------------------------

(yes, it's a strange configuration, but it seems to work (except bsd))

anyways, lilo is installed on the mbr, /dev/hda, and is config'ed thusly:

--- lilo.conf ------------------
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda1
        read-only
other=/dev/hda4
        label=bsd
        table=/dev/hda
--------------------------------

when i try to look at the mounted bsd partition, i get this error:

-- ls output --
UFS-fs error (device 03:04): ufs_readdir: bad entry in directory #2, size 512: reclen is too small for namlen - offset=0, inode=2, reclen=12, namlen=260
---------------

any ideas? :)
