Boot with the verbose flag (by specifying -v at the boot prompt) and you'll get that info printed out. You can also check the format device page (page 3) and the geometry page (page 4) to find how the drive is setup; use "scsi -f /dev/rsd?.ctl -m 3" (and 4) to read those two pages. -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
