Well, I got my drive to work by the process of trying again many many
times.  Now I have another question...

A while ago, there was a discussion of the minimal boot sequence (in
startup-sequence), but I don't recall anyone addressing the rest of
the disk.

I changed the startup-sequence on my old wb disk to transfer control
to the harddisk very soon, and it works fine.  But I'm trying to make
a boot disk that is as small as possible in all directories (why?  who
knows).  I haven't gotten one that will work though, as it always ends
up asking me to "insert disk dh2:"...  The binddrivers apparently
isn't mounting it for me, and it takes much less time than binddrivers
does when it works.

So, here's my current minimal boot disk; anyone got any ideas what
else is needed for it to work?

Dir tree:
    C
	BindDrivers
    Expansion
	hddisk
	hddisk.info 		; why do I need this, anyway?
    L
	disk-validator		; seemed like a good idea
    S
	startup-sequence
    Devs
	MountList	; containing an entry for res2:; do I need it at all?
    Fonts
	; nothing 
    Libs
	; nothing

My startup-sequence:
    BindDrivers			; should mount dh2:
    dh2:c/DefDisk dh2:		; move sys: to slow partition
    Execute s:startup-sequence	; transfer control to slow partition

Thanks, -Miles
