Hi - another ULTRIX 4.1 question for some one with diskless client experience.
We have RZ23 (104 MB) internal disks in the "diskless" clients, which are
DECstation 3100's.  They are assigned as /dev/rrz7, and upon loading the
system theese were assigned with partition B as swap.  But how do I set
the rest of the disk as usable disk space?  There is no partition table on
the disk, and when we add one using chpt -a it shows up with 204 MB total
disk space!  Any ideas why?  If I only want to use a 32 MB swap partition
(the workstations have 16 MB of memory) then how do I use the rest of the
disk as useful space for files?  One major problem is that I keep getting
a BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG error.  It also says USE -b OPTION
TO FSCK TO SPECIFY LOCATION OF AN ALTERNATE SUPER-BLOCK TO SUPPLY NEEDED 
INFORMATION.
