I added a 1GB HD as the second drive on my system and moved the /usr directory 
tree on to it. I also created symbolic links from /var/adm and other 
directories which are normally linked (although I think /usr/adm was a link to 
/var/adm rather than the (reverse) way I have it now). Anyway, when I boot up, 
it says something along the lines of 'Too many symbolic links: /var/utmp'. I 
haven't noticed any problems but I'd like to know how to get rid of this error 
message.


Hooroo...
