Okay, thanks, I'm gratefull for these posts. This, allong with the cube install
instructions that came along recently, should give me enough insight to do a
manual install process with newfs, mount, pax, and a little text editing.  is
vi included on the install root?

I'm curious what the exact string for the A/UX partition types in the
partition table is (ala Apple_HFS), because I like using pdisk (the SIOUX
macosized one that mklinux had a while back, over drive setup).
