I don't even have a /dev/hd8 when I use my demo disk--it only goes up
to hd5, even though I have 7 partitions. Partition 6 (Atari drive H:)
is empty, and I wanted to use it to test whether Minix works with my
system. I have two physical drives, a Megafile 30 (C: and D:) and
an ICD FA*ST 85 Meg drive (E:, F:, G:, H: and I:). I was able to mkfs
D: on the Megafile 30, but I have had no luck at all formatting a
partition on the FA*ST drive.
