- The 1.3 ROM needed mountlists and l:fastfilesystem to mount hard drives.
- After 2.0, the RDB standard was born and the mountlist went onto the
- RDB. The FastFileSystem was moved to ROM (No longer in l:). YOu can
- either:
- 1. Reformat the drive to use the RDB standard or,
- 2. Make sure that the mountlist and the commands to mount the partitions
- are in the startup-sequence.
