(I don't think my memo made it through yesterday so I shall repost it)

I have two hard drives, on with DOS and the other just for 386bsd.
One the first I have 2 DOS partitions, and have left 7 Megs free for
a small 386bsd partition just so I could have it set to the active
partition.  I then wanted to have the rest of the files on the second
hard drive.
  I am not a Unix wizard and am rather stuck here.  The install program
on the dist.fs will not work as it says I only have 7 megs and it wants
40.  Could some one tell me what I need to do (and the commands I would
need to issue)   THANKS!!!
