Re: mkfs question
I'm sorry, I did mean formatting the drive for Linux partitions. I forgot
that mkfs comes after this step. So far, I've tried every MacOS partition
application I have come across: pdisk, Drive Setup, HD SC Setup, without
success. Is there any other way of partitioning an m68k internal IDE
drive with Linux partitions?
