- I have 386BSD 0.1 running on a 386/25 with a 140mb Toshiba SCSI disk.
- I have a dos5.0 partition (32mb), an extended 5.0 partition (32mb), and
- a 77mb 386BSD partition. If I were to decide I don't need the 32mb
- extended dos partition, is there a way I can safely delete it and
- mount it as a 386BSD filesystem?
-
- Before I blow away my whole disk ... is it as simple as just using
- dos fdisk to delete the extended partition, then using newfs to create
- the filesystem on 386BSD? What would the device name be?
-
- Thanks,
- Bill
