:                                  One thing that was 'weird'. With the new
: software you can select either 'skip' 'mount' 'boot' for EACH partition.
: I set the system up to just mount all partitions, and when it tried to 
: mount the system. It told me that I HAD to have at least one partition set
: to the 'boot', even if I did not have the means to do 'autoboot'!! Seems kinda
: strange, huh? But what the hell, it is working great. And the new software is
: nice.

	I believe that Clark is doing an 'Assign SYS:' to the partition set
as 'boot'... This makes it a little easier to build a generic Startup-Sequence
for all configurations. You only need to access SYS: for your assigns, instead
of knowing what drive you want to set your system to.
