- Install simply puts hddisk#? into the Expansion drawer, Prep into the C
- directory, and the Mountlist in the Devs directory.

- The 1st partition of the 1st SCSI device must be called DH2:. You don't need a
- mountlist entry for this first partition. Anything after that you do, however.
- All of the info for DH2: is loaded when you run prep DH2:. Reboot the machine,
- and format your drive as normal.
