When you set these drives up with the Buslogic controller, what geometry
do you use? More specifically, what do you use for sectors/track if the
drive is zone recorded. I have a Quantum Fireball 1080 and cannot get
the thing to boot once I have installed BSD which I assume is a geometry
problem. Do you have to use specific parameters with the newfs command?
or is the Fireball not compatible or how can I tell?
