- Okay. We finally bought a reasonable size external SCSI disk to supplement
- the little 105 that came with our NeXTstation. We installed NextStep on it
- and are now booting from it. So far, so good.
-
- Now I would like to reuse the 105 for something else. I have several ideas,
- but they all require that the disk mount into the Unix filesystem somewhere
- other than at the / level. Basically, I would like to override whatever is
- automatically mounting the sucker as /diskname and mount it somewhere else
- like I would do with any other Unix system.
-
- If this is in a FAQ file somewhere, or in the NextStep 2.x manuals (we don't
- have the 3.0 docs yet, just the OS), by all means please just point me in
- the right direction. Otherwise, if someone could be kind enough to tell me
- how to do this via e-mail, I will be happy to summarize to the group.
-
- Thanks.
