Carlstrom) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.development Subject: Disktabs in general (and for seagate st12400n in particular) Date: 13 Jul 1994 06:56:45 GMT Organization: Massachvsetts Institvte of Technology Lines: 14 Distribution: world Message-ID: <BDC.94Jul13025645@blackjack.ai.mit.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: blackjack.ai.mit.edu does anyone out there have a disktab for seagate st12400n drives? we have a few of them and been having a lot of fun getting them to run with anything other than dos, which is pretty disgusting... there is dispute b/w what the manual says and what netbsd (and for that matter nextstep) say for the parameters. netbsd and nextstep agree, but give larger numbers. neither set of numbers works, but a smaller tracks per sector does. its all very weird and makes me nervous putting any data on the drive didnt there used to be a disktab archive from the 386bsd era? where did it go to? -bri
