- IS IT NECESSARY TO ADD ANY FILE SYSTEMS ?
-
- Basically, no. RDPrep, using the defaults, creates FastFileSystem
- partitions on your hard disk. The FastFileSystem is presumed to be found
- in the L: directory of your Installation disk. The "old" file system is
- found in your Amiga's ROM if your ROM is a KickStart 1.2 or 1.3. In
- KickStart 2.0 ROMs, the FastFileSystem is found in ROM.
-
- Thus, you'll only be using the features of Screen 3 if you are adding
- some experimental or variant file system to the RDB area of your hard
- disk. Once you've added a new file system, you must go back to Screen 2
- and designate which partitions, if any, will make use of that file
- system.
-
- FILE SYSTEM TYPES:
-
- When you add a file system name to the list in Screen 3, RDPrep will
- assign a "DOSType" designation to it consisting of a hexadecimal
- representation of the ASCII name of the DOS type. See page 3-3 of your
- AmigaDOS 1.3 Enhancer manual for additional information. Note that this
- designation is NOT editable for the old or the Fast filesystem; only for
- variant file systems you may choose to add to the list, so unless you're
- using some variant file system you don't have to worry about it.
-
- The GlobVec value should always be -1.
-
- Priority should always be set at 10 (never higher lest you interfere with
- other important system tasks). You can set it lower than 10 but your SCSI
- interface response will suffer accordingly.
