You can't unless you have some sort of IDE expansion card (or SCSI...) The
normal hform only supports 1 partition, AFAIR ADFS only supports 1 partition
as well.

This is the arm32 group most people on the list used to have RPC's (that was
the first arm32 platform supported) although these days most of the
discussion tends towards sharks and the like.  I have a feeling that not
many people on the list actually have a RPC.  I think most of the work Mark
and Neil do these days they do on their CATS boards.  And without the RPC-2
(Phoebe 2100) things will probably get quieter (if possible from those with
Acorns...)

You might be able to convert it to LINUX if you're going to give LINUX a
try.

I think you'll find that there's now a filecorefs or similar that can be
built into kernels, that's the Native format for a RPC (which runs RISC-OS
;)
