I didn't try a remount of RES0: and DH0: by using hddisk as devs:hddisk.device. I didn't know you could although intuitively that always seemed like the proper way. I did re-prep the drive after backing up the other partitions. (Thank goodness I had multiple partitions and thank Chip Orange for BACKER. BACKER politely called me from the other room to change disks during my dinner.) After many attempts I did succeed. A couple times after going through the whole prep sequence without a hitch I got unceremoniously dumped back to CLI with "Device RES0: not PREPed." Swine! I formatted dh0: twice since the first time I got a Key validation error right at the commencement of the format. Hmmm… That's as far as I've gotten. While I'm messing around with this I though I'd do some advance work on the 1.3 FFS. Namely, make my dh0: partition really tiny since you can't use it with FFS (and since it seems more prone to screw ups!). How small can/should I make it. One cylinder, perhaps? I don't HAVE to put anything on it, right? Am I allowed to call subsequent partitions dh1:, dh2:, etc. This contradicts the 2090 manual but not the mountlist on the 1.3G WB (Don't worry. I'm not going NEAR it until I get this situation stable). — Art
