Your original statement was that Big-DOS is still necessary with MiNT.
Now you suddenly talk about ext2? I'd rather suggest you'd check what
your actual problems are before writing ...

Yes, and that's enough here, for two partitions. One is over one
gigabyte, btw. And it also works if I boot with HDDRIVER 7.70, just
mint.prg in the Auto folder and ext2.xfs in the mint/multitos folder.

Of course, depending on your HDDRIVER's version, you might have to add
`LNX' to the list of recognized XHDI partitions, e.g. those that will be
handled as if they had `RAW' as partition ID.

My impression is more and more that your main interest is to provoke. If
not, prove it, and tell more details about your setup - don't expect
anyone can solve problems without your cooperation.
