Getting aux to use all of a quantum 105

I recently went through this hassle also, trying to find and mount
the extra 240 MB partition on a wrenrunner disk.  I'd used 
SilverLining to partition it with the default A/UX configuration,
which made a large extra partition called "Unreserved 1".  After
two failed attempts in which I installed A/UX from CD then wiped 
it out the entirely, I found a way.  Here is a commented log file
of the 3rd, successful try.  '***' are comments.

After installing A/UX, I used it's disk partition (dp) and new file
system (newfs) commands.  You should refer especially to CHapter 5 of
the A/UX Local System Administration manual (Preparing and Apple HD SC
for A/UX).  The first part of this manual refers only to Apple's HD SC
Setup program, but the remainder (Using dp, Making and Mounting an A/UX
File System) applies to any disk partitioned for A/UX.
 
If you don't have this manual, see man pages for dp, disktab, newfs, mount 
and fsentry.
