I have a 286 clone running 2.2.2 SCO Xenix. when I first installed the system,
I set aside a 6meg DOS partition. as it turns out, I never use DOS, and I
need the space on the Xenix side (I only have a single 40meg drive). is
there a way to either a) incorporate this space into the Xenix partition,
or b) turn it into a Xenix partition and mount it where I need it? I'd
like to avoid reinstalling the whole thing.
on a side note, I skimped on the swap size and subsequently panic due to
out of swap on a fairly regular basis. any tricks to expanding that?
my current setup looks like:
fdisk:
Current Hard Disk Drive: /dev/rhd00
+-------------+----------+---------+----------+--------+---------+
| Partition | Status | Type | Start | End | Size |
+-------------+----------+---------+----------+--------+---------+
| 1 | Inactive | DOS | 1 | 749 | 749 |
| 2 | Active | XENIX | 750 | 4884 | 4135 |
+-------------+----------+---------+----------+--------+---------+
Total disk size: 4885 tracks, (6 reserved for masterboot and diagnostics)
divvy:
+---------------+------------------+---+-------------+------------+
| Name | New File System? | # | First Block | Last Block |
| root | no, exists | 0 | 0| 33051|
| swap | no, exists | 1 | 33052| 35051|
| | no | 2 | -| -|
| | no | 3 | -| -|
| | no | 4 | -| -|
| | no | 5 | -| -|
| recover | no, exists | 6 | 35052| 35061|
| hd0a | no, exists | 7 | 0| 35146|
+---------------+------------------+---+-------------+------------+
35062 blocks for divisions, 85 blocks reserved for the system
apologies if I'm in the wrong group, I don't get comp.unix.xenix.sco here.
I also have very little documentation, it's probably here, just scattered
everywhere, so be verbose please :-)
