I'd definitely be interested to know the procedure. I've initialized
and duplicated disks several times with SCSI disks on my XL1201, but
I've had no luck with ESDI drives on my 3630. The "Disk Format" FEP
command on the 3600 seems only to format the disk -- it does not create
a bad block map; attempting to create a FEP Filesystem on the disk fails
afterwards.
If you can dig up the procedure when you have the time, I'd appreciate
it :).
Thanks,
Josh

this, I'd love to get a copy -- I'm out of space on my 3630 and I
have several compatible ESDI drives, but no means to make them usable

yet :).
Josh;
The special software is only for bringing up Genera from the FEP (bare
metal); it's called the Breath Of Life tape. Once you have LISP
running, Genera includes all the tools you need to initialize another
disk and bring it up. In fact you can bypass the need for a BOL tape
entirely, if you have access to a second system.
I used to have the procedure, but by now it'll take me a while to find
it again.
