Forget trying to duplicate the HFS structure. That is unnecessary.

To make MacSCSI work:

1. The only really necessary driver fix is to initialize dQDrvSize in
the drive queue entry. This needs to be done in np_drv.c Set dQDrvSize
to the number of sectors on your drive.

2. Boot the HD20 startup floppy.

3. Mount your SCSI drive as usual. It will have the normal MFS file
system on it.

4. Select the MacSCSI drive and choose Erase Disk from the Special
menu.  Select Initialize from the dialog box. Your disk will be 
initialized as a HFS volume.
