If you have space in DH0:, that is.  I helped a friend install BattleChess
on her 2500, and the fact that her copy of the HDInstall program was hard-coded
to create the HD file in DH0: was a tad objectionable, since her vanilla
HD0: partition was only big enough to do the transfer to the FFS-formatted
DH1: partition, BattleChess wouldn't FIT on it.

What we had to do, if I recall aright, was to edit the HDInstall
program, string-replacing some other 3-character volume name ("BC0:",
for example), for all "DH0:" occurrences.  We created a drawer somewhere
for BattleChess to load into, and ASSIGNed our new volume name there.
The HDInstall program then worked properly.
