#GVP questions
GVP creates their own reserved cylinders, similar to the 2090A. With their
autoboot ROMs, the all user partitions can be FFS. I have a 20 meg disk
with one partition that is all FFS. I suspect, though, that you will have
to completely re-initialize your disk when you do install autoboot. The
auto-installation facility takes care of the reserved tracks for you when
it detects the presence of the autoboot ROMs.
BTW – my guess (and it's only a guess) is that GVP writes the mountlist on
the reserved tracks and that's why people have not been able to detect
performance differences by changing mountlist entries in their HD's
devs:mountlist file.
