Subject: Partitioning a non-apple drive for A/UX
Summary: How can it be done elegantly?

Hello NetLanders.  I'm trying to partition a brand-new Storage Dimensions 300
Meg drive.  I want to set it up so that I can have BOTH the MacOS and A/UX
running on the same drive.

Now Apple's HD SC Setup is capable of partitioning a drive in this way, but
alas, the program only runs with Apple-sold drives.  I went in with ResEdit
and inserted the SCSI identifier of my drive into the table.  It recognizes it
now, but every time I try to initialize it, I receive the message "Unable to
prepare drive for initialization."  When I initialize it under another program
and then try to partition it under HD SC Setup, I receive a message like, "The
Partition map has become invalid."

Now I know for a fact that what I'm trying to do can be done from the "dp"
utility that runs under Apple's Stand-Alone Shell, but I lack the knowledge to
do  that (it involves messing around with raw block #'s, etc.).

Can anyone recommend either

	a fix for HD SC Setup
	        or 
	another program that'll do it
		or 
	a quick tutorial in the workings of dp?  The manual reference is
	sketchy, to say the least.


Thanks
