Fellow AMAX II users,
    My AMAX seems to be very happy with my hard disk partition, but I am not
sure exactly what steps (and in what order) I used to make this happen.  It
sounds like I went through what most of you are attempting and tried at least
six different set-ups before I found one that works.  I DO NOT have to mount
my AMAX partition, but no icon shows up on the Workbench.  As soon as I select
'GO AMAX' the Mac screen comes up with a smiling Mac and, PRESTO, I boot from
the hard disk.
    I have reserved a 50 Meg partition on my Maxtor 2190 230Meg drive for the
Mac side and I am running 6.something.  I have used my AMAX much more in the
2 weeks since I partitioned my hard disk than I did in the year or so prior.
If anyone is interested, I could list the options selected by the HDTOOLS
program for that partition.
