Xenix fdisk and boot1 patches

[Robin Cutshaw]

These patches pertain to IBM XENIX (286 3.0)...


Here is the patch to /etc/fdisk to be able to use hard disks of type 4-8
under Xenix.  Previous patches have be posted for /etc/badtrack, /boot,
/xenix, and /xenix.fd.  All of these patches must be used together.

With each of the patches here and previously posted, one can install any type
of hard disk under Xenix hat will use the standard controller interface.
Changes to cylinder numbers different than those in the ROM BIOS may result
in the disk being unusable under both dos and Xenix unless you are supplied
with a device driver for dos.

cd /etc
cp fdisk fdisk-
adb -w fdisk -
71:12948/w 940		/* 915 = 940 */
71:12954/w 940		/* 410 = 940 */
71:12960/w 615		/* 462 = 615 */
71:12962/w 4		/* 8 = 4 */
71:12966/w 462		/* 492 = 462 */
71:12968/w 8		/* 5 = 8 */
71:12972/w 733		/* 900 = 733 */
71:12974/w 5		/* 7 = 5 */
$q


This is the patch to /etc/boot1 for more heads than 4 :

cd /etc
cp boot1 boot1-
adb -w boot1 -
$x
3f:151b?w 75xx		/* where xx is the number of heads */
$q
