It runs much easier in Qemu, although MESS can emulate one of the two NIC’s that it’s TCP/IP can support.

I don’t think the table will look ‘right’ but here goes:

# divvy -b 1 -c 1
+—————+——————+—+————-+————+
| Name | New File System? | # | First Block | Last Block |
| root | no, exists | 0 | 0| 102400|
| swap | no, exists | 1 | 102401| 118785|
| u | no, exists | 2 | 118786| 2061348|
| | no | 3 | -| -|
| | no | 4 | -| -|
| | no | 5 | -| -|
| recover | no, exists | 6 | 2061349| 2061358|
| hd0a | no, exists | 7 | 0| 2061831|
+—————+——————+—+————-+————+
2061359 blocks for divisions, 473 blocks reserved for the system
