Hallo Dirk,

The X server needs a view. So indeed you should edit /etc/ttys,
just disable getty on one of the ttye? devices.

This is what `nm -ng /netbsd | grep pool' tells me:

	0008cf8c D _st_pool_size
	0009460c B _st_pool_phys
	000950d4 B _st_pool_virt

With `binpatch -l -o 8192 -s _st_pool_size /netbsd' you can examine
the current value, use the -r option to change it, for example:

	binpatch -l -o 8192 -s _st_pool_size -r 0x40000 /netbsd

If the ZIP-drive was partitioned under msdos this won't work.
The problem is not the file system format (the NetBSD/atari
msdosfs-driver will accept both gemdos and msdos file systems),
but the partition table. Currently only AHDI and NBDA format
are supported.

I've done some work on support for msdos partition tables, but
unfortunately the i386 port is rather weird. Currently I'm
more interested in support for sun disk labels.
