- I just added a 120 MB hard disk to my A3000, and I would like to take this
- opportunity to get rid of the WB 1.3 partition that came with the existing
- 50 MB drive. My plan is to copy all of the files from the 50 MB drive
- (partitions SYS and Work) to the 120 MB drive, then reformat the 50 MB
- drive, getting rid of the WB1.3 partition, and finally recopying all of
- the files back.
-
- My problem is that I don't know how the system determines where Kickstart
- is. Is it hardcoded in ROM to look in some directory of SYS, for example?
- If I merely follow the above procedure blindly, will it work, or will
- I overwrite some hidden file or file structure, never to boot my machine
- again? Where is the hard-disk-based Kickstart, anyway?
-
- Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks
