And I have been told you need to mount the dos partion, again how ? btw the drive is 1050 cylinders with dos on 0-716 and bsd on 717-1050 if thats any help 2) Also how does one ReConfigure the host etc names. It can be done in the initial setup but when trying Configure again ,no luck. 3) and lastly I would now like to install some more of the basesets eg , man10, games10. how do I get bsd to read the dos disks, (yes I have to install via disks) and then get to extract them ?
