Using hard drives which are larger than 1GB

By default the X68000 allows us to use hard drive capacity only up to 1GB (1016 Mb). Trying to create a larger partition or a partition which uses data past that point will result data corruption. The solution is to use GOVERHD. This program will apply a set of patches that will enable you to use up to 2GB of hard disk space. This tutorial will show you how to create two 1GB partitions and patch them with GOVERHD. You can create more than two partitions, if necessary, but keep in mind that the last partition must not exceed the 1016 Mb barrier or otherwise it will not be able to boot from it.
