A 9GB boot drive would be a waste anyway. The disk allocation algorithm in MPE
tried to put files anywhere but LDEV 1, so why put a giant disk there? You
would probably better off with a 2 or 4 GB drive to boot from, and put your 9GB
as some other non-booting LDEVS (either in the MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET or a
user volumeset).

MPE sure doesn't need 9GB to boot from. Only NT can be expected to bloat that
much in the future .... :)
