I've been trying without any sucsess to have showlace fsck all my partitions. Goal: Before booting up I want to fsck all my minix partitions. DONE: Once shoelace is up I hit a space very fast. This leaves me at the shoelace boot prompt '>'. I then type "configure -d /etc/config". I then type "fsck" and then if there are errors, I type "fsck -r". This cleans my root filesystem (only once in over 200 boots did I realy have to use the "-r" option.) I've tried useing setenv and setdev on "bootdev", and "rootdev" to various values but can't get fsck to check anything but my root partition. SETUP: IBM 386-33 clone (AMI bios) (8MB mem) A= 1.2MB B= 1.44MB C= 124MB IDE 32MB DOS C partition (default shoelace boot partition) 52MB DOS Logical partition split into D=32MB and E=20MB 8MB MINIX / 32MB MINIX /usr 1MB MINIX /tmp (ie /dev/ram) fsck runs fine on /dev/hd3 (ie root) but I can't get it to run on /dev/hd4!!! send answers to grossman@bbn.com
