Hi again guys :) I've got myself a storageworks shelf (with floor-stand hardware and the smoked doors :D ) that has 3 SBBs and a HSD05 DSSI<->SCSI unit. It's hooked up to my 4000/200 with a KFQSA MSCP DSSI card, and i've set it up so that I can SET HOST/DUP/UQSSP/DISK 0 into the HSD05 and run all the setup utils and toys there. However, I don't know how to partition these disks under NetBSD - i've had a bit of a fiddle with disklabel but quite frankly I get a bit lost, and most of the time disklabel locks up on me anyway - I suspect this is because it cannot know the true geometry of the disk it is talking to, but that's just a supposition... The three disks I have appear to the VAX firmware as DIS610, DUA620 and DUA630 - all appearing as RF72 disks, and the VAX is netbooting NetBSD 1.5.2. Can anyone explain to me how I can get these babies formatted so I can eventually install NetBSD on them? TIA alex/melt
