2.9.1 BSD on 11/34 + sc21-bm + fujitsu m2333k

Exciting stuff for a Friday night, right?  Here's a visual aid in case
you're needing further inspiration:

M2333K is the smaller one on the left with the green and yellow lights on.
I'm booting from rl0, which contains the tuhs 2.9.1 rl02 image I wrote with
vtserver earlier.

I want to use my nice, roomy smd disk so I can pull in all the sources and
recompile stuff and I've managed to get this *so* close to working but I'm
getting

xp0a: hard error bn xxxx cs2=1100 <MXF, IR> er1=0

on every single block when I try to mkfs /dev/xp0a 4800

This disk was working fine years ago via MSCP attached to the 11/73 (before
I lost the Micro/11 power supply).

Anyway, I referred to
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/emulex/SC2151001-CC_SC21tech_Jan87.pdf
to set the emulation on the Emulex card for two rm03s and they're showing
up in xxdp's zrmlb1 formatter, though they won't format there, screensful
of errors.

I think I set the m2333k to 32 sectors, per this manual:
http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/antonio/chrisq/B03P-4760-0101A_-_M2331,M2333_Micro-Disk_Drives_OEM_Manual.pdf

Because XXDP is reputed to be really strict, I figured that was normal and
then tried the Emulex on-board formatting procedure against both xp0 and
xp4 and they formatted perfectly without error.  Guess the Emulex on-board
stuff doesn't bother verifying much?

So I think that maybe I've misunderstood the hard sectoring / sector sizing
thing.  Does anyone remember the gist of it and would you be able to
describe?  Do you see any other mistakes?

thx
