Find the device (sdX -- from the output of dmesg) then run "scsiformat sdX", which will low level format the disk, and get rid of the software right protection. Then after the format is finished, run "disklabel -r -w sdX auto", then "newfs /dev/rsdXc", and go crazy. /stand/sysinstall will also let you manipulate the disk once you've finished the scsiformat. If you need more details, let me know. |I've been trying to set up a Jazz disk with no success so far. Mostly |because I don't have any knowledge about configuring raw disk devices. |Is there a disklabel editor that can be run from the booted system |similar to that used by the install program? I've looked for one but |haven't found it if its there. | |Could someone supply specific disklabeling information for setting up |partitions etc? (I think its disklabel you use for that - haven't |played with it for a few weeks.)
