SCO

You have to run mkdev hd.

Make sure you do not format the disk or change any sizes.

In divvy, you have to rename the root partition from hd0root to something else that is not currently used on any hard drive.

Be very careful to not mark this partition as new, as it will be formatted if you do.

Once this is done, you can mount the partition to /oldroot, or some other name.

You must refer to files in the old root file system by their full name, in the case of /etc/shadow, this will be /oldroot/var/opt/SCO/.Unix.6.0.0Ni/etc/shadow.

If you do not, simply referring to /oldroot/etc/shadow, will be linked to /var/opt... in the booted root file system.
