I am trying to create a file system on my 2nd MFM 20Mg hard drive
using mkfs on MINIX 1.5.10.  I would like to use the entire disk so
I have used fdisk (in DOS) to make a single partition and then
(in minix) I type: mkfs /dev/hd6 20842.  The command returns fine
with a file system made on my 2nd harddrive.  However, my problem
is that when I return to DOS, my 2nd hard drive is still visible to
DOS.  

Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Any crafty solutions?
BTW, I use a 286 with 4Meg RAM...1.5.10...

cheers!
