Re: [ql-users] qxltool and multipartitions

[Timothy Swenson]

I'm still having problems with the Syquest and it keeping a partition.  I 
also found that copying from the Syquest to win1_ caused win1_ to be corrupted.

I'm also starting to wonder about the Q40 manual.  I formatted HD like this

    Partition 1 (/dev/hda1)  QWA   QDOS1
    Partition 2 (/dev/hda2)  QWA   QDOS2
    Partition 3 (/dev/hda3)  SWP
    Partition 4 (/dev/hda4) LNX

When the system first boots up, it has WIN_DRIVE$(1) set to 0,0,0.
This should be the whole disk on the master on the primary bus.
When I do a "stat win1_" it shows it as being QDOS1.
I was worried about win1_ referring to the whole disk, so I did WIN_DRIVE 1,0,1
(first partition on the master disk on the primary bus).
When I do a "stat win1_" it now shows QDOS2.

So, it looks like the 0 does not refer to the whole disk, but to the first 
partition,
and the 1 refers to the second partition.

Anybody else discover this?
