Well your procedure was correct I guess, but I got all
crazy and typed this up, so I might as well send it ;-)
Good Luck,

Boot into DOS6.22, fdisk /mbr the hard drive, then
reboot back into 6.22 and partition it and make the
primary dos partition active, then reboot into 6.22 and
format C:
Reboot into Bering.
You may need to insmod these to see your hard drive
ide-mod
ide-disk
ide-prob
and list those in that order in /boot/etc/modules.
Grab syslinux.lrp and lrpkg -i it.
Read your syslog to determine what /dev the hard drive
went to. I guess because it's the second hard drive
after your DoC that it's /dev/hdb and the partition is
called /dev/hdb1.
So try to mount -t msdos /dev/hdb1 /mnt and see if that
work. If so, then umount it, and
syslinux -s /dev/hdb1
and then remount the hard drive and mount the DoC and
copy every file *EXCEPT*
ldlinux.sys
etc.lrp
modules.lrp
initrd.lrp
Then vi the syslinux.cfg on the hard drive to specify
loading off the /dev/hda1 and packages off /dev/hda1,
then umount the hard drive and go into lrcfg.
In lrcfg you change the destination point for backing
up etc, modules, and initrd to the hard drive. I think
you type d 1
and that takes you to the screen where you specify custom.
Then you specifiy hdb1 because that's your hard drive.
Do that again for modules and for etc.
BE SURE TO go through the process of saying "custom" and typing
hdb1 every time. There's a bug in lrcfg where if you use the hdb1
quick choice without typing it in, lrcfg will barf.
Then exit lrcfg and
vi /boot/etc/modules
vi /etc/modules
to specify the ide-mod
ide-disk
ide-prob
and to remove those from /etc/modules and remove the DoC stuff.
Then save those and go into lrcfg and back them up. Because
you changed the destination, those special changes will go to
the hard drive and not you DoC.
It should boot the hard drive then, when the hard drive
is connected as primary master w/no DoC.
