    Short procedure how to create Coherent virtual machine with 16GB disc space.

    We assume, that You have already created the Coherent virtual machine and
    have tested , that it boots OK.

    Add new virtual hard disc, attaching it to primary 1 device (slave) and set the size of this disc to 16 GB.
    Start the virtual machine using cohtesta1w kernel.
    During boot You will notice that two disc are detected at0 and at1.
    After login use cfdisk to create four 4GB paritions on new at1 disc.

    cfdisk /dev/at1x


    After partitions were created restart the system and create file
    system on new partitions.

    mkfs /dev/at1a 8000000

    etc.

    It is important that the number of sectors used by mkfs is lower than the number of sectors created with cfdisk. You can safely cut 1 MB at the end
    of the partition. Otherwise fsck wil fail.
    So far so good.

    HTH
