My system currently has two ESDI hard drives.
wd0 (144Mb NEC) is my operating systems disk which currently has copies of
FreeBSD and DRDOS loaded. (Did have OS/2 V2.1 but I had to
dump it temporarily to load BSD).
wd1 (380Mb Maxtor) is one large Dos extended partition containing Windows and
all my apps and Data.
On installation BSD recognised my DOS partition on WD0 but didn't pick up on
the larger drive. Ideally I would want to reinstall BSD with / and /usr
on wd0 and the user dirrectories under /home on the PCFS mounted wd1 drive.
This is the first move on turning this machine into a Unix hosted server for
a second PC, an Amiga and a Mac.
How do you mount an extended dos partition. Is there a problem with this??
Advice desperately needed.
Thanks
Fletch
