Well, I got my drive to work by the process of trying again many many times. Now I have another question... A while ago, there was a discussion of the minimal boot sequence (in startup-sequence), but I don't recall anyone addressing the rest of the disk. I changed the startup-sequence on my old wb disk to transfer control to the harddisk very soon, and it works fine. But I'm trying to make a boot disk that is as small as possible in all directories (why? who knows). I haven't gotten one that will work though, as it always ends up asking me to "insert disk dh2:"... The binddrivers apparently isn't mounting it for me, and it takes much less time than binddrivers does when it works. So, here's my current minimal boot disk; anyone got any ideas what else is needed for it to work? Dir tree: C BindDrivers Expansion hddisk hddisk.info ; why do I need this, anyway? L disk-validator ; seemed like a good idea S startup-sequence Devs MountList ; containing an entry for res2:; do I need it at all? Fonts ; nothing Libs ; nothing My startup-sequence: BindDrivers ; should mount dh2: dh2:c/DefDisk dh2: ; move sys: to slow partition Execute s:startup-sequence ; transfer control to slow partition Thanks, -Miles
