Yes.  (I assume you are talking about a 286)

Sequence:  (dont use any dos utilities)

1. Fdisk
 a.   go to second drive
 b.   create both partitions
 c.   mark unix partition active

2. Divvy 1
     divvy requires that the unix partition on the second drive be active
     or it won't work.  This sets up all the partitions table stuff so the
     uport driver can find it's stuff.  

     Put all the blocks in usr
 
     dos doesn't care if d: is active or not. (active sets which partitions
     on c: will boot).

4. labelit /dev/rdsk/1s2 yourname 1s2
                ^  note, use raw device.  I got some very strange results
using the stuff in the release notes (ie dsk instead of rdsk).

5.  mkdir /yourname
6.  mount the /usr sub-partition, Slice 3,  /dev/dsk/1s2
      mount /dev/dsk/1s2 /yourname

Notes: divvy -d 1    will dump all the partition stuff

      your unix partition will be missing about 1000 blocks for overhead.

      dos d: is accessible as /dev/rdsk/1s5  ie
	ln /dev/rdsk/1s5 /dev/dos/D
