Hi...
I'm attempting to install a new Connor drive onto a -current
system, and after four attempts using a boot disk (was trying to make
it a "root" system disk), I think its time to ask for help.
The system is only a 386DX40 w/8Meg of RAM, as I'm using a spare
system to do the installation, so that the system its going into doesn't
have too much downtime.
I'm using an Adaptec 1542CF controller, and the drive is, as shown
below, a Connor CFP1060S 1.05GD 243F.
When booted from floppy, and trying to install that way, I get
errors as follows on VTY2:
sd0(aha0:0:0): NOT READY asc:4,0
sd0(aha0:0:0): Logical unit not ready, cause not reportable field replaceable
unit: 15
Now, this might be what should be my first clue, in that the drive
is bad? But I don't know 100%, so I booted up onto a -current system and
figured I'd try and use disklabel and newfs the drive myself, then use the
boot floppy to actually do the system installation.
If I run 'disklabel sd0', I get the "allocation failed" errors that
you see below...can someone explain that error?

Now, a disklabel sd0 shows:

Now, I can't think of anything except that the disk itself is
bad (Connor was not *my* choice...just what was available *sigh* Prefer
Seagate myself...)
is this a proper conclusion, or is it just something I'm missing?
Like...maybe jumper settings on the drive or something like that? Once
more, I've been sold a manual-less drive, so if that is it...*sigh*...going
to have to throttle someone :(
I think I've put about as much detail into this one as I can,
sorry if I missed something this time, but after 5 attempts, trying various
thinks, I'm at a loss as to what to try next :(
Thanks...
