George,
Just for numbers, let's say you have 1000 cylinders available on the
drive total. During PREP, you told it how many you wanted to use for the
first partition (your 47 Meg worth I presume). Let's say you set it up for
cylinders 2 thru 300. Then you create a mountlist entry (or modify the p2:
entry) for cylinders 301 thru 600 for the next partition (we'll call it P2:
for here, you can call it anything you want thou). You then create another
mountlist entry for P3: starting at cylinder 601 thru 999.
Once that's done, you simply MOUNT those partitions (MOUNT P2:)
(MOUNT P3:) and then FORMAT them. After that, just add the necessary lines
in your startup sequence to MOUNT those partitions.
