Pegasos HDD -> A4000?

[motorollin]

My PegII has lots of partitions on it, including SFS, OSX, EXT3 and Linux Swap. I need to get some files from the drive on to my A4000 but don't have a working CD-ROM atm. Can I just put the PegII drive in the A4000 and expect the SFS partitions to show up?

SFS is inside the "ROM" with MorphOS, so you need to add the SFS to the RDB of the HDD if it isn't there yet.

If you happen to use different SFS than the one in MorphOS (say you've put 68k SFS into the RDB and use custom dostype with your partitions), then it will work out of the box, without need to touch anything.

Thanks Piru. I don't remember installing SFS in the RDB. I have an FFS boot partition. Would that show up? I would just try it but don't want to risk trashing anything on the MOS disk.

FFS partitions should show up just fine without need to touch the RDB.

One thing to remember is that not all devices (scsi.device etc) handle >4GB area correctly. If you're not sure if the device driver handles >4GB correctly, only access partitions below the limit.

check4gb is handy for checking for the 4gb limit.

It's ok, the partiton is right at the beginning of the drive and is only 50MB for boot images.

Thanks for the info.
