Default Re: Gemini 80-Bus System

I never really came up with a solution to switching disks.

However for raw formats it is possible to use a sym link and reference the
symlink in the .cfg file. Then changing the symlink will change the disk, only
works with disks of the same geometry though. Not recommended for formats
like .img.

I came upon a similar problem with the isis operating system with a hard disk. To boot a system with hard disk but from floppy it is necessary to boot from
floppy with the hard disk not ready. This was actually kludged in the mds800
hard disk driver so that I could build a disk image.

I am wondering if you might be better patching rpm.
