- My problem was not what dir to mount the OS/2 disk (/fred/d/ in your
- example) but how to tell the HP mount command the name of the OS/2 file system
- to attach to /fred/d/. Sorry I did not make it clear.
-
- Anyway a colleague discovered that the entry in /etc/checklist which was
- created by SAM can be modified e.g.
- myos2:/ /fred/d etc
- ==>
- myos2:d:/ /fred/d etc.
- The problem is with SAM. It is defective because it does not understand
- the file system names for the most common OS in the world!
