No.  just us the diskadd utility

No.  The only thing to remember is that the fdisk style program will only
let you set the partition to 1023 or so cylinders.  However, once you 
are past the fdisk, you can specify whatever is the correct number as long
as you put the unix partition last.

Nope.

BTW- I am running an Interactive 386/ix system with 2 680MB drives without
any problems.
