I just bought a new 6.4 GB IDE disk to upgrade my current 200+MB 
drive.  I know the BIOS on the 386SX will not handle the full size of 
the drive.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set this 
system up?  I plan on removing the 200MB drive and adding a CD-RW so 
the 6.4GB drive will be the root disk.  If no one has any other 
suggestions, I'll probably try starting with:

- use NetBSD installation tools (sysinst) to create a disk with
	partition (a) about 200 MB for root
	partition (b) about 56 MB for swap
	partition (g) the rest of the disk for /usr and /home

If that doesn't work, use M$-DOS tools to create a 200 MB DOS 
partition at the front of the disk, leaving the rest unused.  Then 
have NetBSD use the rest of the disk.

If anyone has some experience with this, I would appreciate comments 
on the best way to do this.


PS
  The 386SX will eventually be replaced with either a 68EN360, a 
860EN, or a ADSP2106x processor.  The 386SX will let me get the basic 
idea of the project running before I commit to developing custom 
hardware for it.
