At this time, there is no way to use BindDrivers to activate any of the partitions of the Wedge. You must use the Mount command explicitly. The rquirements for the boot floppy are minimal (Mount, driver, startup-sequence), so you can be over on the HD in very quick order. The startup-sequence I use looks something like this: mount dh0: dh0:c/run dh0:c/execute dh0:s/HDStart and the file dh0:s/HDStart takes care of assigns, background task startup, etc. The process is quite quick. Working on, but in no way representing the Wedge.
