Subject: Building Initial Root Partition with MacMinix

Hi!  I just started installing the MacMinix v1.5 onto a hard drive, 
(mac IIx, 4 Mb) but severe confusion set in.  How do you create a 
root file if the routines needed to do this are on another disk 
(01.USR1) that must be copied to the existing root partition,
BUT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE??

I have been able to do the maccreates, mkfs, but cannot do a setup_root
due to having to dismount the 01.USR1 disk to perform the setup_root 
(setup_root uses /dev/hd0 that 01.USR1 occupies).  I want to use all
/dev/hd0-4 devices.  Does this mean that I cannot have 5 partitions?

Could someone please help.  Thanks.
