Adding/replacing hard drives on 286/Xenix

[Dipto Chakravarty]

Can someone please point out the best approach/procedure to add and/or
replace a hard drive on a 80286 based Xenix box? 

Here are some of the issues that concern us :

-	What needs to be done in order to [i] tell /unix that a new drive 
	exists, and [ii] it is at a non-conflicting interrupt?

-	Do we [i] run 'dd' to move the files from the old drive to the new
	drive, or [ii] do we simply reload the files from a cartridge tape
	drive? 

-	If the new drive is to co-exist with the old one, how do we specify
	and re-build the /u partition on it? In other words, what is the
	best way to add devices without having to re-install the system.

Please send e-mail directly to uunet!ats!dipto or dipto%ats at uunet.uu.net
if possible. Since this procedure has become a show-stopper a prompt reply
from a Xenix gure will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
