[SunHELP] blades with pc cards not using alloted disk space

[Fletcher, Joe]

My guess is there is some kind of DOS component in the setup and since DrOSs
has a 2GB file size limit
that's all you get to play with. It's just like NT setup. The initial system
disk slice has the same 2GB limit.

With both VM's apparently showing the same limitation, I'd say it's a M$
thing...It is disappointing...
