Well, I have sworn off Amiga hacking for the time being because I have 
zero time for doing such things.  But I've been trying to decide how 
I want to configure my 1.3 boot disk, and I've come across a problem 
that I hope someone can answer.

For various reasons, I decided that I want to have 2 rad: disks; one 
880K rad: as a standard workbench disk to boot off of, and one 880K
or smaller rad: formatted for fastfilesystem, which would be a "work"
disk.  

Now, can I do this?  I tried copying the entry for rad: in mountlist, 
changing rad: to bin: and adding the following lines:
   unit    = 2
   handler = l:fastfilesystem
   lowcyl  = 0   /* also tried 80, which is right above first rad: */
   highcyl = 79  /* also tried 159 when I used lowcyl=80 */
   dostype = 0x444whatever-the-manual-says-to-use-for-ffs
   bootpri = -129

In my experimenting, I kept getting "not a dos disk" errors, even after 
formating bin:.  Ditto when I dumped all the ffs stuff and tried using 
it as a standard dos disk, although I think a 880K standard dos disk 
didn't give me that particular error, but it was still inaccessible.  

If someone knows how I can set up a second rad: disk, whether it be ffs
or not, please help!  By the way, I'd also prefer the 2nd rad: to be 
smaller than 880K, which I guess will work with ffs, but not with standard
dos (sfs?).  

Oh yeah, I have an A1000 with 2.5 meg, and am using KickStart 1.3 as well
as WorkBench 1.3 (bad move to get rid of that KickStart DISK, Commodore!
I can certainly deal with that extra 15 seconds on boot-time when I 
consider that I don't have to go out buy new ROMs all the time :-)). 

PLEASE REPLY TO ME DIRECTLY because I don't have the time to keep up 
with the Amiga newsgroups regularly.  Thanks!
