Charlie, etal:

I changed my molrc file to the following:

blkdev: /home/mac2.img -rw -force

where /home/mac2.img is a file created with the following command:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/mac2.img bs=1024 count=409600

which created the following file:

(ls -al of /home)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 419430400 May 23 10:32 mac2.img

and still, no disk gets mounted on the desktop, nor does any disk show up
in drive setup, nor does anything show up in disk first aid when in mol.

i am assuming that until i can format the "disk" with drive setup it won't
appear anywhere else.

i am running MOL 0.9.43, and am using mac os 8.6
