I recently purchased a GVP 1 M memory/SCSI harddisk controller.  I have been
very pleased with it thus far, but I have a few questions that I hope someone
can answer.  BTW by setup is an Amiga 2000, 1 floppy, GVP 1M controller,  and
an ST-277N hard disk.

1)	Is there any way to change the memory location at which the expansion
	autoconfigs?  As it is, mergemem can't merge the memory from the GVP
	board with the rest of the memory in the system.  There is only one
	jumper on the board (which differentiates between 0 and 1 meg of
	memory installed).  Is there something that needs to be done with
	software?

2)	Is there any way to change the name of a partition after it has been
	formatted?  Right now I have 4 partitions (DH0: through DH3:).  I would
	like to change these to something else (ha: for instance).  I have 
	tried changing the device names in the MountList, but that doesn't
	seem to work correctly.  When BindDrivers is run, DH0: through DH3: are
	automagically mounted.  I can then mount ha:, but then I have two 
	device names referring to the same partition.  That is not what I want,
	and is probably not a good idea.

3)	Does anyone have any documentation on using the programs in the
	gvpscripts directory of the installation disk?  Specifically, 
	I am interested in manually  running (i.e. not from within their
	script) GVPprepHD and sformat.

Any help on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.
