- Yes, I made it work, essentially following the instructions in the FAQ.
- The only twist was to find the proper offset for the start of the DOS
- area. I did this by running "od /dev/wd0d" and taking a couple
- of guesses. The DOS stuff started after a long stretch of zeros.
- Here is the relevant line from my "devices.c". I don't know whether these
- parameters will work for you, but you might be able to use the same trial
- and error technique.
-
- {'C', "/dev/rwd0d", 19456L, 16, 0, (int (*) ()) 0, 0, 0, 0}, /* HD */
-
- (19456 is 046000 octal).
