- A couple of people have made the helpful suggestion of creating a minimal
- A/UX on a seperate 80MB (or whatever) hard disk. As much as I appreciate
- the attempt to help, this isn't very useful. I've already shelled out
- enough $$$ for my system without dropping another couple of hundred for a
- hard disk I won't use except for emergencies. Thanks to the person who
- pointed out that one needs to use kconfig on the /unix in the emergency
- partition to tell it to run off that partition and not the real root.
- It worked. I am now in the middle of putting together a package to create
- an emergency filesystem on a specified partition. Maybe Jim can put it on
- jagubox with the other goodies when I'm done.
