Format DOS drive for Unix
Thomas McAndrews
My wife's boss' accounant has a friend that needs some help. I sound
fishy already.
The guy has two stand alone computers. One computer has DOS on it and
the other computer has Zenix on it. He wants to format the hard drive
on the DOS computer for Zenix. Questions: how does he format a
floppy disk on the Zenix system, what does he need to put on the
floppy in order to boot up in Zenix on the other DOS computer, what
else does he need on the floppy in order to format the hard drive?
Much Thanks,
Tom McAndrews

What he needs are the original boot/installation floppies. These already
have what is needed to install a zenix system.

I agree -- does he even have a license to support two installed machines
with the same serial number? Where are his installation floppies anyway?
