I am working on bringing up a COMPAQ SLT/386, and the unit has a bad HDD
(120MB CONNER). I swapped in a 340MB CONNER from a spare SLT/286 parts
machine, and fdisk shows the volume as XENIX. When I try to boot it, it
says:
NO OS
I was going to repartition it and install something else, but I thought
I'd consider other options, if any make sense. Don't have XENIX
knowledge here...

Well, there might not be a system on it. Why not just image (using say,
dd) it and save it for another day? The image will certainly fit on a
CD-R or a pen drive.

Oh, I know. Just looking at options here. looks like I need to uncover
the PII to get to the IDE cables so I can image it :-) My USB PATA
reader is broken, so there goes that easy option :-)
