  If there is an entry in devs/mountlist that has the name DF1: but unit=2 and
you say "MOUNT DF1:", then all references to DF1: will go to the external
floppy.  (This is easier than changing the jumper on the motherboard that says
DF1 is external.)

  The mountlist for AmigaDOS 1.3 is already set up - just add the MOUNT
command to your startup-sequence.  For AmigaDOS 1.2, just take the existing
mountlist, remove the "/*" before DF1 and "*/" after the "#", change UNIT= 
to 2, and change HIGHCYL= to 9.
