Hubbard: This is what was shown on first entering fdisk. Please note the disk is a R.A.R.E. RS5200 and not a DEC DSP5400 as I said earlier. Also note this drive is the same as a DEC DSP5200 which has the Sun format.dat entry described at the end of this message. To continue, this disk was originally formatted (and running) under Linux with a 50MB root on the second partition (shows as Unknown), 100MB swap on the third (shows as Linux), and the fourth /usr with the rest of the disk (shows as Unknown). 1.

It looked like this: 2.

I deleted "f","g","h" and dited "a" to be 50MB, "b" to be 100MB, and "f" to be the rest with 754MB. I rote the label and ssigned / to "a" (4.2BSD), swap to "b", /usr to "f" (4.2BSD). I rote this and then uit. I then chose

roceed and it flashed up (briefly) something about newfs /dev/rsd1a before failing with the message: Exec (/stand/newfs) failed, code = 5888. < OK > When booting the drive shows up as I also noted that my Teac CDROM CD50 was not seen as a CDROM drive: Unit attention asc:28 cd0 drive empty Could not get size even though i had the FreeBSD CDRom in there. # The entry was provided by Stephen Reilly . # # format.dat for DEC DSP5200S 2GB SCSI disk # disk_type = "DEC DSP5200" \ : ctlr = MD21 \ : cache = 0x11 : trks_zone = 15 : asect = 5 : atrks = 30 \ : ncyl = 2619 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 2621 : nhead = 21 : nsect = 71 \ : rpm = 3600 : bpt = 36352 partition = "DEC DSP5200" \ : disk = "DEC DSP5200" : ctlr = MD21 \ : a = 0, 32802 : b = 22, 65604 : c = 0, 3904929 : g = 66, 3806523 ========================================================================== | Dave Waddell | Disclaimer - I don't even speak for myself | | waddell@posc.org | | | kb5wxe@kb5wxe.ampr.org | + 1 713 267 5103 | ==========================================================================
