This idea was suggested to me as I now have two hard drives and
have 386BSD on the second: Install about a 5-7 meg partition on
the first and have the main filesystem on the second.  I am not
a Unix expert and don't have much experience with stuff like
makefs and mount, etc...   What would I need to do to do this?

   Thanks!!!
