Hi.  I have a similar question.  I just got my cube yesterday, YEAH!!!!
I pulled the 40 meg disk and installed a 300 meg Wren IV (anybody got a
disktab entry for this BTW?  I don't think mine is perfect :).  I'd like
to  put the 40 meg back in and use it for just paging.  Now for the questions:

How exactly do I do this?
What files must be edited, and in what way?
Does anybody know what SCSI ID number I usould use for everything?
I have a daisy chain SCSI cable, but I have never done a SCSI daisychain before
How does one go abouut doing SCSI termination?
Is the optical a SCSI disk?  ie, do I have to worry about SCSI ID for it?
Also, what are some of the more non-essential files/directories that can be
removed from the hard drive if the need should arise?

Please be verbose.  While I'm not overtly stupid :), I'm new to the NeXT
and need all the help I can get (obviously :)  Any help I get is greatly
appreciated.

			Thanks, Ralph
