||black@rpi.UUCP in primerd:comp.sys.amiga says:
||When I boot my 1MB A500 off the usual WB1.3 floppy, I end up with 900k or

||When I boot up my 46 MB GVP hard drive, another 150k disappears!  It is in

I have the same problem with my B2000 at work.  I have 1 meg, with the fat
agnus chip.  My 40M GVP drive has 1 (one) partition.  When it boots, I have
650K available.  When I had 4 patitions, I had 450K free.  Anyone know
what could be wrong?
