I want to add a drive to my empeg, but I don't want to use the kernel that formats and all that automatically. I have the V2 final developer image installed with the Pre-Built Hijack kernel with ext3 support and the Telnet server (sorry for no credits, I'm not good with names). To add a drive via the shell, can I just:
1) partition it (fdisk)
2) make the fs (mke2fs)
3) **follow steps to convert to ext3**
4) set it to mount at /drive1 (in fstab)
or is there something else that must be on the drive?

Since this is my first post, I'd like to say thanks for everything you guys do. I've owned my mk2a since SonicBlue discontinued them and wanted one since they were being hand made in England (mk1) and there was that really long waiting list to get one. I was in high school then and didn't have that sort of money. I can normally find everything I need just by searching and never have anything to contribute that other people don't know. I'm just looking for some reassurance. Thanks again.
