I have a question for those in the "know".
 
I have a 40 Meg GVP Quantum drive and after a initial failure my second card
seems to work just great, in fact, very nicely.   The GVP, for those who
do not know is a autobooting SCSI controller.
 
Here is the question, recently I upgraded the memory from 1 megabyte on my
2000 to 3 Megabytes.  (I bought a used 2052 card - cheap!).  I want the 
GVP to use Fast memory to for its buffers (and boy does it like memory),
Does this mean that I need ro re-install the software on the hard disk?
Hold it, don't say you simply change the mountlist as I don't believe
the mountlist is used by the autoboot code.  Am I wrong?
 
If I am wrong, this would bring me to the second question as to how when
I boot from floppy  I can access the hard disk as if I had booted from it?
The answer must be that there is a special area on the hard disk that the
mountlist is copied to when the software is installed.' 
 
I guess I could call GVP, but I thought I would let you guys talk to me,
in case I mis-understood.

PS - I guess the FastFileSystem is also copied to this area of the disk
as well.
