A600 HD Help needed.

Hi,
My A600 has an 800MB HD fitted.
When I install workbench (2.05) it seems to install workbench on a partition of 6MB and then the rest on something called "work". It also calls workbench "system2.0". Is this normal?
I also have the 3com Lan card and a flash card. The thing is no matter what I do they won't run from workbench under the HD. They will work if you use the disks that came with them. The flash card even had an installer which still did nothing.
The drivers for both are in the Devs folder as well.
Any ideas? Maybe some startup-sequence hacking needed.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi,
I let the disks do it's stuff for the HD installation.
I can't remember how to partition the HD :-(
I booted from the HD in both instances of the PCMCIA cards.
The flash card had an installer that was on the floppy.
I physically copied the driver from the 3com disk over to the HD as it didn't have an installer. It was put in the Devs folder.
Strangely the flash card now works if I add this to the S-Sequence:
C:Mount >NIL: Devs:DosDrivers/~(#?Info)
This was in the SS that was on the floppy.

Hi,
I see, thanks. I'll edit the user-startup instead.
I'm thinking that for the 3com network card I'm going to need someone who has done it before and who is willing to give me a step by step of how to get it working.
