Lowell,
I don't have answers to all of your questions, but I may be able to at
least partially answer some of them. I have a Bernoulli with an A3000.
1) The disk light flashing, you assumed, is when the machine is checking
for a disk change. That is also my take on it.
2) I also just wrote the RDB to the cartridge and did no low-level format
or bad block check. It may be a good idea to use one of the disk checking
programs to check for bad blocks.
3) The reason cartidges should only have 1 partition is for when you
change disks. If you change to a disk with different partition
information, the machine can't handle it.
4) You should be able to name the partitions anything you want. I would
assume the new name would be detected at the time of the disk change.
5) I always boot my machine with a cartridge in the drive. I don't know
how to do it otherwise.
6) You seems to have got all the questions that I have ever had on the
Bernoulli. I can't think of anything else.
