Hi!

I have a silly question...how do I find out the necessary information
to write a mountlist for a partition.  I'm having problems making my
AMAX partition invisible since I can't get the mount command to work
correctly on it.  I can get the start and end blocks from HDTools (or
whatever it's called...I haven't futzed with the thing in a couple of
weeks) but it doesn't seem to list the number of heads and other
sundry info that looks like it should go into mountlist.  This is a
standard A2000HD (2091 w/40 meg quantum) and has three partitions (bin
usr and amax).  I'd bought my A2000 used so I have no manuals which
makes this sort of thing hard to figure out if you don't get it right
the first couple of tries.  I have half a mind to sell the beastie off
and trade up if I can find a manual cover from one of my C64
friends. ;-)

Thanks for any info!
