While maybe not too much of a help, you could use one of the RZ23s as
a boot disk with just a root filesystem on it, and keep /usr, swap
and other stuff on your IBM disk. That way you can still boot, and
everything will still fit inside your /133 (both HDs should fit under
the mounting plate that the RX23 mounts in).
