I just re-read the amithlon.net guide, and I don't know if I understood it correctly, but is it possible to boot amithlon from a folder (drawer :-) ) on the Windows partition (C:) without the 10 mb boot partition?
In that case I would only have to convert the BeOS partition to a virtual drive (same size as before), which can then be partitioned from AmigaOS to the parts I need in AmigaOS (System, Work etc.)?
Btw., my Win partition is FAT32 but since it is Windows 2000, there is no DOS.
The easiest way would be to use your existing FAT/FAT32 boot partition to launch Amithlon (keep Windows there, it won't mind) and just convert your BeOS partition to type 72 using a linux bootdisk and linux fdisk. Er well, this would be the easy way if you had a DOS boot option in the Win2k bootmenu :/ ... adding it after the fact is a pain...
You could use a dos bootdisk however, and launch Amithlon from the Fat32 slice that way.
There's a way to add DOS boot support and add it to the NTloader menu after the fact, but it's messy and a pain in the rear, not to mention doesn't always work. It requires the first 512k (?) be copied into a bootsect.dos (?) file after you set up a DOS partition or something along those lines.
I betcha Bernd has this whole HD install thing automated and waiting to be released as V2, if the bloodsucking scoundrels ever go away!
