The idea was to make the dreaded disk add as simple as possible. And i still hosed the damn thing. I moved the disktab.install file over to disktab. I edited the fstab by copying the /usr and /dos entries for /dev/wd0 and appending them to the end of the file and replacing the 0 in 'wd0 with a 1 ....hmmmm...but i made my dos partition on the 2nd drive 70 meg instead of sixty-five so i could tell the little devils apart...maybe this was not a good idea... I didn't mess with the fstab.wd because it seemed to be primarily concerned with the boot sector..which i don't *think* i want to have on my 2nd disk...right? OK, so this recitation makes it obvious to me that i am pretty clueless on this key unix person skill. I just want to have room to boot MSDOSWIN for OS/2 and not have FreeBSD cak on me because i have no room for xdm to write it's happy little login record because my file system is full! Any discussion of this or a brief tutorial would be appreciated...any flames about RTFFAQ are welcome and in my opinion, deserved... thanx mucho john utz
