Quadra 800 acting strange

Hi!

I've just installed version 3.2 on an old Quadra 800, but my first boot 
don't go like described in the INSTALL.mac68k file (Yes I have followed 
it to point).

When I boot up in single user mode I'm told to write the path to my 
shell or ENTER to use sh. I've tried both just sh, csh, tcsh (with 
appropriate paths). Then I'm asked to enter the shell type I've tested 
a few; some work and some don't. Anyway when I get past this I get the 
"#" prompt, but it's impossible to edit any of the files (myname, 
mygate, etc.) in vi, because it tells me it's on a read-only file 
system, which from what I know it is not (if that's the case it has to 
have been set so by the installer(!)).

When I boot up in multi-user mode the startup process hangs just before 
the point where I'm asked for the shell info in single-user mode.

Not at any point am I asked to log in!

During the startup I'm getting one warning about / not having been 
properly unmounted.

Technical info:
24MB RAM.
One apr. 250MB disk (with root (214MB) and swap (30MB)) at SCSI ID 2
One 2GB disk (with usr (apr. 1.5GB) and a HFS partition) at SCSI ID 0


Hope somebody can help! I'm not a UNIX geek, but I'm learning! :-)

Best wishes
