I am new to A/UX and have a question that is probably very
simple.

I am interested in installing A/UX 2.0 on my Mac IIfx on
a third party hard drive. The third party drive is a
Maxtor 200Meg internal drive (SDI LXT-200S) which I
bought from Alliance peripheral systems. The question I
have is other than the A/UX 2.0 software what do I need
to properly format/partition the drive. The software
that came with my drive does not mention support for
A/UX and a call to the tech support line confirms that
the partitioning software does not support A/UX. I had
heard that La Cie's SilverLining supports A/UX, but
a call to their toll free order number discovered that
SilverLining is presently being upgraded to support
A/UX 2.0 and won't be ready for a few months.

I am fairly knowledgable about the Mac OS as well as
using Unix however I know little about UNIX system 
administration; so, please don't leave out too many
mundane details on how to set up A/UX ( or
any pointers to where this information can be found
would be equally helpful.

Thanx in advance,
