X11 ate my AUX partitions!

I am new to aux, unix, and X. I have been trying to install aux and X on a
MaxIIfx with a 3rd party Maxtor 200 mb hard disk. I have tried
partitioning the disk with Silverlining 1.26 and with a beta copy of the
manufacturer's software. The partitioning seems to be OK, but whenever I
finally get X11 session running I get "can't load /dev/kmem" and Xload
won't work. A few sessions later, X11 hangs, and when I reboot I cannot
get access to aux: I get the message "panic: kernal memory error". The
next time I reboot, I don't even get this far. I use fsck and esch and all
these disk error messages appear. Kaput. What's the deal? So far my
eschtology partions have been 3 and 4 mb, swap 18-20mb, mac os 60 mb, and
the rest aux root&usr.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
