Creating a file based disk
==========================

It is possible to use a file image of a SCSI disk with 
MOL. To create an empty, file based disk, do the 
following:


STEP 1: Create a file of the wanted size:

	bash$ dd if=/dev/zero of=partition_file bs=1024 count=40960

The example above creates a 40 MB large file (40960 = 40 * 1024).


STEP 2: Add the line

	scsi_disk:  4   partition_file   -nopar -rwall -hw

to the molrc file (it is of course not necessary to use scsi
id 4).


STEP 3: Boot MacOS in MOL. Use Apple's Drive Setup application 
to format and partition the disk (do NOT specify low-level 
format).


STEP 4: Change the previously added line to:

	scsi_disk:  4   partition_file   -rw

This moves the disk to the osi scsi bus (should result in
improved performance).
