- Sorry my other posting was a bit hasty: the first partition needs to be the

- partitions then can be FFS via mountlist entry, for example:.

- HDA:
- Device = hddisk.device
- [other stuff deleted]
- LowCyl = 3 ; HighCyl = 819
- MaxTransfer = 130560
- DosType = 0x444F5301
- StackSize = 6000

- With the primary partition as one (unused) cylinder, I don't reference it
- (DH0:) in any way including no format or mount etc.
-
- By the way, I found on my ancient A2000, rev 4.0 and this old A2090, that
- the A2090 couldn't perform with faster SCSI drives. I've never upgraded
- the A2090 ROM, but I believe this might have helped. I run my SCSI off a
- HardFrame.
