I had this old RT running for about three years.  Several IBM
products had been installed which produced hard drive partitions
and links to them with VRM.  I wanted to recover and reuse the
space.  I so deleted the partitions using minidisks.  I then 
created a new partition using minidisks.  Now to the question.
What do I need to do to make VRM happy?  On boot its gives me
errors about the vrm configuration.  It is complaining about the
partitions I deleted.  What tool do I use to tell VRM that these
partitions are deleted?  

P.S.  I checked the manuals and I booted the VRM floppies.  I 
checked the configuration and it looks OK.  Do I need to install
VRM again after I get the configuration correct?  

I feel foolish asking because I just can't seem to remember or find
the correct steps to make this process happen.  I'm sure that two
years ago it would have been obvious.  Thanks for any help provided.
