While trying to get 386bsd and DOS to coexist peacefully on my 120Mb Rodime
drive, I accidentally trashed some very important part of my boot sector.
(As in "nothing besides the Norton Utilities can even SEE drive c: :-("
If a) you are running both 386bsd and DOS,
b) you have a copy of the Norton Utilities
could you please assist me in filling in the right values in the following
partition table? I will be eternally grateful!
Here's what I need:
===========================================================================
Relative Absolute
System Boot Starting Location Ending Location Sectors Sectors
Side Cyl Sector Side Cyl Sector
------- ----- ---- --- ------ ---- --- ------ -------- --------
DOS-16 yes ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
386bsd no ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
===========================================================================
Obviously, some numbers really need filling in! I'd like to use the first
33Mb for DOS, and the rest for 386bsd, btw.
Well, thanks very much in advance...
