Post-installation Notes

---

The R4 installation process automatically sets your R4 partition to be a bootable device.  In other words, you shouldn't need the boot floppy after you install.  However, there are a couple of situations in which this mechanism may fail...

R3, East of R4

If you install R4 on a system that also has an R3 partition (whether it's on the same or a different disk), booting into the R3 partition may make the R4 partition unbootable.  If this happens to you, do this:

• Boot off of the R4 floppy and run  makebootable -safe on your R4 disk:

  $ makebootable -safe /boot

• If that doesn't work, try makebootable -full:

  $ makebootable -full /boot

IDE and "Large" Mode

Some IDE disks are set to "large" mode.  Such disks probably can't be made bootable.  If you're using a large mode IDE disk, you'll have to boot off of the R4 boot floppy.  Sorry.
