You would not
be able to test that system on the bare iron it its devices were minidisks
starting ay cylinder 1.

Subject: Re: 2nd level install - duplicate volsersDavid's method (using cylinder 1-END) is arguably easier at the cost of a cylinder, and loss of access to real cylinder 0 by the second level guest (should that be needed).OK, now I'm curious. I've never encountered a VM function that absolutely, positively had to operate on *real* cylinder 0 to work properly -- AFAIK, the "virtual" cyl 0 has always been good enough for 2nd level guests. What functions would care about this (assuming that DDR properly offsets as needed if you're restoring from a minidisk back to a real volume)? I can't think of any.-- db
