14.2 SETTING UP CONFIG.SYS FOR FLASH FILE SYSTEM
Two lines must be included in your CONFIG.SYS file in order to set up the MS-Flash
partition and to install the Microsoft FLASH FILE SYSTEM on your computer.
The first line differs depending on whether the Flash device has a VFLASH partition or not:
1.
If there is only the one MS-Flash partition on the device, these two lines must be
included in CONFIG.SYS:
2.
If there is a VFLASH partition as well as an MS-Flash partition on the device, these two
lines must be included in CONFIG.SYS:
where X can be replaced by the appropriate number of blocks which must be skipped
from the beginning of the device. For example, the user may have already created a
bootable disk using VFLASH in the first four blocks of the Flash device; the size of each
block is 64 KB. This leaves twelve 64-KB blocks for an MS-Flash partition which will
begin at the fifth block. The two lines to add in CONFIG.SYS are therefore:
By default, the system uses start=0, meaning no blocks are skipped and the MS-Flash
partition begins at the first block. That is why the /start switch is not needed if there is one
MS-Flash partition on the Flash device.
