Hi! Recently I installed the WB 2.0 roms in my A2000. However, I have had some trouble reformatting my GVP Impact Series II harddisk with 40MB Quantum, which is split into 2 partitions, DH0: and DH1:. I fooled around with GVP's FaaastPrep, but this didn't seem to reformat the drive - (a) it was too fast and (b) the UpdateWB program kept complaining that DH0: wasn't a dos disk (or somesuch). So, in a fit of blind fury, I used the DOS format command (after booting off the 2.0 Workbench disk) to format the 2 partitions, with the following commands: format drive dh0: name Boot ffs format drive dh1: name Sock ffs Well, this seems to work fine. Problem is, I *DON'T* have gvpscsi.device in DEVS: and I *DON'T* have dh0_mountlist in SYS: ( which contains mountlist entries for DH0: and DH1: - I presume this is where it belongs - when I got the drive (pre-formatted and set up) that's where it was. Should I add it to DEVS:MountList and do a "mount dh0:", "mount dh1:" in my user-startup?). What I basically need to know is: * What do I do with gvpscsi.device ? * What do I do with dh0_mountlist ? Help! Yours in Advance Roddi
