Hi,

how do you create a bootblock on a new drive? I've never used
disklabel, because the harddisk utilities for the Amiga and Intel
platforms were much more convinient to use ;-)

I want to install and boot from a 4GB SCSI harddisk. Can someone
give me some hints. At the moment the bootblock is installed on
a 730Mb Quantum Lightning which I've sold.

There is a program called installboot in the /usr/mdec directory
and some files called boot and bootxx. Am I on the right track?

Many thanks in advance

cheerio Berndt
