be aware: "scsiformat" runs for HOURS!
fdisk with the following parameters:

cylinders=8669 heads=64 sectors/track=32
In partition 3 (counting from 0)
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 6144, size 17747968 (8666 Meg), flag 80
 beg: cyl 3/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 32/ head 63

	disklabel -R -r sd0 label-st4108

If you are telnetted to the system check for error messages in the log, sometimes they only go to SYSLOG and console.

	tail  /var/log/messages

create the special file for use by the "newfs" command

	/dev/MAKEDEV sd0s4

create the new filesystem

	newfs /dev/rsd0s4h

add your mount point to /etc/fstab.
