I have just installed a high density 3.5" floppy on my
genuine vintage IBM-PC/AT (with Inboard 386). I told the CMOS
rom that I had two high density drives, and DOS 3.31 works just fine.
Unfortunately, Xenix cannot read dos disks with dosdir /dev/fd196ds18,
or any other combination of things that I have tried. When Xenix boots,
it says it thinks that the floppy #2 is a /fd196ds15 drive, which is
what it is being told by the CMOS RAM. How do I tell it otherwise?
I have Xenix 2.3.2 for the 386.
