Greetings. Under A/UX 2.0, can the MacOS partition that contains the A/UX StartUp application be on a separate physical drive from the A/UX partition that it launches? And if so, how/where does one designate under A/UX StartUp where it should look for that A/UX partition? -- Regards, Darryl Marsee Syracuse University <demarsee@gamera.cns.syr.edu>

The "General" selection under the Preferences menu lets you specify what root directory to use. Replace "(default)/" with "(ID,0,0)/", "ID" being the SCSI id of the drive you have A/UX on. >Darryl Marsee >Syracuse University ><demarsee@gamera.cns.syr.edu> Regards, Justin Justin C.

Use the General... choice on the Preferences menu and change the '(0,0,0)/' for root directory to, for example, '(3,0,0)/' to launch from SCSI drive #3. To make the change of setting effective, you then need to leave A/UX Startup and relaunch it, but after that it will always boot A/UX from drive #3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mat Davis (davism@vtopus.cs.vt.edu) Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
