You can try just naming the partitions and only using the first X bytes of the disk, but I have a feeling that OSCAR clears the existing partition table. If you look at the system imager scripts you may be able to alter that behavior.
Also, the sis-users list might have some more technical suggestions about this situation since they wrote the package. We just use it. :) On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 5:10 PM, Pasquale De Martino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The situation is different.
