If you are considering buying one of those dinky 128Mb rewriteable
M-O drives, this might interest you.
I got mine going with NetBSD-0.9 real easy:-)
Just laid down my money for an AHA1542C and a Fuji M2511A, whacked
them in the box, disklabel'd, newfs'd, mount'd, and away it went ...
For other newbies like me, here's a few more details (derived from
the FAQ).
All done as root:
1) Add the following new entry into /etc/disktab:-
fuji2511a|Fujitsu M2511A:\
:dt=SCSI:ty=removeable:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#121:\
:pa#247808:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:ta=4.2BSD:\
:pb#0:ob#0:tb=swap:\
:pc#247808:oc#0:\
:pd#247808:od#0:
2) # disklabel -w -r sd0 fuji2511a
3) # newfs /dev/rsd0a
4) # mkdir /mo
5) # chmod 777 /mo
6) # mount /dev/sd0a /mo
That's all there is to it, 121Mb of 3+1/2" removeable media.
Good luck.
Peter.
P.S. This is not intended to be an advert for either Adaptek or Fujitsu.
Just because I work for a company owned by one of them, doesn't
mean I get any discount on their products :-((
