I use half of an 80-meg Quantum for A-Max II.

The Quantum is connected to a GVP Series-II HC.

The GVP Series-II HC performs automounting, of course.

I simply didn't create an RDB entry for this partition.

I could also have set the PBFF_NOMOUNT flag.

I mount this partition using "Mount" right before starting A-Max.

So what's the problem?
