- you need to do the changes to the mountlist they talk about in teh rom
- installation procedure .... waittaminut , you were using 1.2 , that is no
- FFS ? then your mountlist should be ok . you need to add the DOSTYPE thing
- though if you want to use FFS on the HD .
-
- I used a spartan with 2.04 , it works the same as before except you tell it
- in the mountlist to use ffs with the dostype=0x444f5301.
- make sure none of your floppy based startup-sequence outputs anything to
- the screen before the one on the HD is called .
-
- i used the default startup-sequence that came with the 2.04 disk and just
- had my floppy startup read
-
- mount fh0: ; mount hd
- fh0:c/defdisk >nil: fh0: ; assign all the SYS: to fh0 in one command
- ; note defdisk is NOT part of 2.04 , check the bbs's
- C:cd >nil: fh0:
- c:mount >nil: fh1:
- c:viruschecker ; or whatever
- you use
- execute s:startup-sequence :the one on the HD that is
