Hi !
I ran into an interesting problem yesterday:
I got an 'old' 520 MB SCSI-Fujitsu Disk and needed to install that
disk into my SS10-box.
The disk was used befor in an old NeXT-Hardware running NeXTStep.
I did change the jumpers to get SCSI-II and synchronoustransfers
installed the disk, did a boot -r and then called 'format -e'.
I was not able to access the disk, nor could I initiate a low-level
format.
It turned out, that the disk was low-level formated with 1024 byte-blocks,
the SPARC (Solaris 2.5.1) was not able to handle.
Is there a way to reformat such a disk on the SPARC ?
(Ok, we got that solved by using the NeXT to do a low-level-format
with 512 Byte-Blocks and then the disk worked nice in the SPARC.)
Regards, Roland
