On my regular linux I put the command:
  fsck -fp /dev/ram1

  The answer was:
root at mlij:/usr/src# fsck -fp /dev/ram1
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
/dev/ram1: 28/1024 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 3203/4096 blocks
  
  I created another compressed /usr disk for mp3blaster.
  Continue the message "... Manual intervention required"
  
  However if I put manually the steps of usr_image script, I can mount 
/dev/ram1 and I can run mp3blaster.
  When I try to open torvalds-says-linux.mp3 there is the message:
  failed to open sound device.
  
  On my regular linux I can open it.	

  If I put the command echo "garbage" > /dev/dsp there is the message:
no such device (there is no sound. on my regular linux I can listen to a
"sound")

 dmesg | more has the line:
Alsa device list: #0 Ensoniq Audio PCI ENX1371 at 0xa800, irq 5

Maybe I have to build a new kernel.

I do not understand why I can mount manually the /usr disk mp3blaster and
the script can not mount it.
