Hi there...
I've got a Sun3 running basically diskless of off my linux box. I'd
like to give it its own disk. I've got a CDC 9417 300meg disk plugged
in as sd0.
i've gotten it to make sd0h, which is not quite right cuz it takes up
the whole drive.
How do i go about making say 3 partitions, a,b,g or something like
that with / on a, swap on b, and /usr on g.
i tried diskpart, which is not a lot of help as there is no disktab
in netbsd/sun3. i can put in all the drive info, and it gives me
partition info, but i can't seem to newfs any of them... keeps
telling me device not configured. i've tried disklabel, same
error.
anybody got any suggestions??
also, i've got an Emulex esdi-scsi card. Will this support any esdi
drive??
thanx
