Almost EXACTLY my problem too.  I seem to be a tiny bit further along,
as mine will show up in the INFO list, but as above, A-Max doesn't like
the partition unless it is automounted.  It seems like A-Max TRIES to
access the drive because the light flashes intermittently, but the disk
with the big "X" in it just flashes on the screen & A-Max won't boot
from the HD.

What I'm asking is this:  Has ANYONE gotten A-Max to work with their
non-automounting A-Max HD partition?  If so, please send Duane and I
copies of your mountlist, and also tell us what HD and controller you
have.  Better yet, post it to the net, 'cause I don't think we're the
only ones with this problem.
                                            Thanks!
