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
