Just to check, you have 128KB of memory, and 2 RL02 drives, right? That
will
make it all really easy, if so.
I have a 1/2 populated M7891
Like I said, I'll make you a mini-disk that will
be quick to load with
GUI11,
with only the only files on it the few you need to be able to boot: the
Unix
system, /etc/init, /bin/sh, etc. Once it has booted, you can 'mount' your
existing RL pack, and copy the Unix system over to that one, then you
should
be able to boot off that one.
Wow..thanks I would really love to make this work.

PS: I was thinking of fixing 'mkconf' (it currently doesn't properly handle
the /dev/tty device, etc), but whoever wrote it was really lazy! 'nswap'
and
'swplo' aren't even parameterized, let alone being things you can override
with inputs. So the dude who did the RL disk just changed the numbers for
the
RL - so his mkconf now doesn't work properly for RK drives! Might as well
just
edit c.c and l.s directly - that's what I always did! ;-)
Anyway, I might fix it at some point, but... not for tomorrow.
understood and certainly no rush. I have been working on this for many
years now to get to this point of understanding. Way before my time. I
started with IBM in 1987 as a college intern.
