dosslice -- set up UNIX nodes for accessing DOS partitions

Synopsis

dosslice [ 0 | 1 ]

Description

The dosslice command sets up the UNIX^® device nodes to allow access to the MS-DOS partitions from the UNIX system. The argument to dosslice is the hard disk drive that is being used, 0 or 1. If you omit the argument, the command prompts for the drive number.

The node created for the DOS partition may be readable/writable by all. You make this choice when prompted whether to make the DOS partition public. If the node is not made public, then you must enter the user login name at the next prompt, and the node is made private to that user.

If multiple DOS partitions are found, each one is given a unique node name. The node name is printed for each DOS partition that is found.

The dosslice command is needed only when DOS is installed after UNIX has been installed.
