One common problem I've found is that GDOS (both AMC and Atari flavours)
require the fonts and graphic device drivers to be on the same drive as
GDOS. I use a small boot partition to hide away all the stuff I don't
normally want to look at, but was defeated when I wanted to then temporarily
use some fonts on another drive which wouldn't fit on the boot drive...
