I'm trying to configure 386bsd to use two drives. My current setup is as
follows:
Compaq 486/33MHz
IDE controller
210MB drive
486MB drive
5.25 floppy drive
3.5 floppy drive
16MB memory
Compaq Tape drive - driven by a SCSI controller
NEC CD ROM drive - driven by the SCSI controller
3C501 Network card
I've successfully installed 386bsd on the primary hard drive. The primary
hard drive is partitioned as follows :
DRIVE #1 ~200MB
partition type Mbytes Volume label system Usage
C: 1 PRI DOS 40 FAT16 20%
2 Non-DOS 162 80%
DRIVE #2 ~486MB
partition type Mbytes Volume label system Usage
D: 1 PRI DOS 100 FAT16 21%
2 EXT DOS 200 41%
total available on #2 is 486MB
As you can tell drive #2 has 186MB available for a UNIX partition.
Now my question is how do setup the configuration files, and any other
files necessary for rebuilding the kernel so that 386bsd can make use
of the 186MB partition on the 2nd drive?
What do I need to do inorder for 386bsd to make use of this partition?
I would really appreciate any help the "386bsd" people on the net
could give!
E-mail me your answers and I'll post them when I get it to work.
thanks alot!
