OS/2 DASD device manager driver assigns the drive letters to the installed drives and partitions.
CONFIG.SYS Statement
BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD
Since fixpak 6/35 parameters are:
- /rf - (removable to fixed)
- Together with this parameter it is possible to handle formerly only as 'superfloppy' available removable disks as partitionized disks.
- /of (optical to fixed)
- Like /rf but for MO (MagnetoOptical) Drives.
- /LF
- Forces all removable devices to be treated as Large Floppy rather than partitioned media.
- /MP:disk:count
- Used to support allocating a predetermined number of drive letters for a partitioned removable media device. Note that this option only applies to partitioned removable devices, and is ignored for any other device type.
- If the /MP parameter is used, then:
- DISK - The integer disk number of the device, as reported by FDISK, or the wildcard character * to specify all partitioned removable devices.
- COUNT - The integer count of the number of partitions to reserve for the device. If the wildcard character * is used, it specifies a default number of drive letters to reserve for all partitioned removable devices. Specifying a count for a particular disk will override this default. Also, if there is media in the device at boot time, and it has more partitions which are eligible to receive drive letters than there are drive letters reserved for the device through the /MP option, then the number of drive letters reserved for the device will be increased so that every eligible partition on the media will have a drive letter.
- It is unknown how many occurances of the /MP parameter are supported.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some parameters are case sensitive. IN UPPERCASE THEY DON'T WORK !
