Do a "q" and see what the syslog output says (because of queueing it may
show up on the screen after the actual process has exited).

Typical reasons are that you're running a compressed drive, VSTa's gotten
confused on your disk geometry, or it's FAT-32 (though in this case you're
using FAT-16), or it's partitioned in some non-obvious way. If you want to
get a lot more detail, see the "Problem with booting VSTa" and "Booting into
testsh does work" message threads under:

    http://www.vsta.org/vsta/mail/1

(BTW, yes, we now have our own vsta.org domain. The real workhorse machine
will continue to be bodhi.zendo.com for the time being, but will probably
cut to a VSTa server some time this year.)
