- You will have a hard time partitioning the boot disk - you'd have to
- start over again and reload everything. We have partitioned our
- second disk (which is standalone, not part of a striped set) on
- our HP 750 running HP-UX 8.07 with the following (I had to play
- around with the /etc/disktab and '-i' option to 'newfs' to get the number
- of inodes I wanted -- not many for /u1 for user files, and gazillions
- for /news for news):
