Hi Folks,

	I got a spare WD drive with 120 Meg on it that I want to use
    under NetBSD-1.0 as an LFS drive.  I tried labelling the disk as
    follows:

'm configuring this as ONE LARGE DISK.
caviar|Western Digital 120MB IDE:\
    :dt=ST506:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#8:ns#35:nc#872:sf: \
    :pc#244160:oc#0: \
    :ph#244160:oh#0:th=4.2BSD:bh#4096:fh#512:

	I can label the disk but I cannot newlfs it:

netbsd# disklabel -w wd1 caviar
netbsd# newlfs -L /dev/rwd1h     
newlfs: /dev/rwd1h: Invalid argument
netbsd# newlfs -L /dev/rwd1c
newlfs: /dev/rwd1c: Invalid argument
netbsd# ndslfs -L wd1c 
netbsd# disklabel -r wd1
# /dev/rwd1d:

Any hints?

Later,
