I always use something like

		disk/format -r 2 -d -b /386/pbslba \
			/dev/$disk/9fat /n/kfs/386/9load

Question: How to put [pbs | pbslba] on the HD of an already installed
system? Maybe, something like:

    Backup the files in 9fat;

    disk/format -b /386/[pbs|pbslba] -df /dev/sdC0!9fat

    Restore the files to 9fat.

Thanks, Bob
