Thanks, though not but I was trying to eliminate any errors.

Generally to make uml work or only if the disk is full? The file system
created by the script was only 26% full, I mounted and then used 'dh':
/mnt/data/home/pete/dev/vm-slack-12/root_fs.img
1007896 244960 711736 26% /mnt/zip
Can't see why enlarging a non-full filesystem would help?
I'm wondering whether it is a device problem, I've mounted the file system and
used mknod, in my new root:
mknod ubd0 b 98 0
and made
/dev/ubd/0
similarly for good measure, because apparently that is what the 2.6.X kernels
want.
As I'm not greatly experienced with uml, and this is my first go at rolling my
own file system (I've upgraded other people's systems before) I'm a bit
concerned that I have multiple issues occuring.
