I just finished a few experiments with a copy of the FLOPPY FILE SYSTEM DISK I mounted it and deleted "/mnt/etc/profile" which is normally a link to "/mnt/etc/profile.fd". Once this is done, you can boot the floppy boot disk and insert your modified filesystem diskette and you'll be in a shell. I also copied "/etc/iv" to it and a modified configuration script from "/usr/lib/iv" with expanded swap space. You can then /etc/iv -uv /dev/rfp000 script where "script" is your modified script with expanded swap space. I have tried it up to 12 Megabytes. It doesn't matter what you tell the diagnostic disk when you format...this will override. After doing this, you can boot the floppy boot and insert the standard floppy filesystem diskette and proceed to build your system. Scott S. Bertilson Minnesota Supercomputer Center Inc.
