I am trying to set up my hard disks ( 2 10 Megs) to run DOS, Minix, and PC/IX. My first disk is currently partitioned into a DOS-boot partition and three Minix partitions, and I would like to split my other disk into a DOS partition and a PC/IX partition. Does anyone know of a way to boot off the second (or first, or third...) partition of my second hard disk. Please email to me and I will summarize if there is enough interest. -- :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):_):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-) :-) Trying to do this this **** Inet: osynw@terra.oscs.montana.edu%uunet.. :-) :-) thing called learning NATE Bnet: osynw@MTSUNIX1.BITNET :-) :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-)
