# # I'm adding a Quantum Lightning 'Direct-Access' drive to my system and I was # wondering if anybody has a disktab entry for it to make it easier on me # in adding it (or is there an easier method than manually beating against it?) # # The specs it reports in bootup ( -v ) are: # # (aha0:1:0): "QUANTUM LIGHTNING 540S 241E" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 # sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 525MB (1075649 512 byte sectors) # sd1(aha0:1:0): with 3658 cyls, 3 heads, and an average 98 sectors/track # # Unfortunately I do not know where to go from here... # What I usually do: 1. dos SCSI format utility is applied to the drive, to make sure that nothing left from part. tables, etc. and the drive is virgin clean. 2. Boot FreeBSD, than do disklabel -r -e sd1, edit to your taste. (You'd probably need a bc calculator handy on another console). Is this approach considered harmful? I don't know, but it worked last time I tried it. -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 "You may delegate authority, but not responsibility."
