If you can find a version of pdisk that runs under OS 9.1, then yes,
it's quite easy.
If not, I suggest you go back to open firmware and try a different
command:
boot hd:xx,yaboot
If you are dealing with a PowerBook, you will probably want to start
with 8 and work your way up to 11 or 12.
You can also boot off of the rescue CD (I think that's the tasty
moresels CD) and get into a limited shell and then poke around
using df (and maybe even pdisk). I did this a while ago, but forgot
the actual steps. I should find my CDs and document this properly.
Good luck!
John
