I don't even have a /dev/hd8 when I use my demo disk--it only goes up to hd5, even though I have 7 partitions. Partition 6 (Atari drive H:) is empty, and I wanted to use it to test whether Minix works with my system. I have two physical drives, a Megafile 30 (C: and D:) and an ICD FA*ST 85 Meg drive (E:, F:, G:, H: and I:). I was able to mkfs D: on the Megafile 30, but I have had no luck at all formatting a partition on the FA*ST drive. -- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / David Megginson david@doe.utoronto.ca / / Centre for Medieval Studies meggin@vm.epas.utoronto.ca / ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
