Hello,

I'm trying to setup a rz26l disk, so that I can dump/restore the actual
root and usr filesystem there and then boot from this disk.
My system disk now is sd1, the new system disk will be sd2...

the disktab entry for the rz26l looks like this:
rz26l|RZ26L|DEC RZ26L Winchester:\
        :ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:ns#57:nt#14:nc#2570:\
        :oa#0:pa#131072:ba#8192:fa#1024:\
        :ob#131072:pb#262144:bb#8192:fb#1024:\
        :oc#0:pc#2050860:bc#8192:fc#1024:\
        :od#393216:pd#552548:bd#8192:fd#1024:\
        :oe#945764:pe#552548:be#8192:fe#1024:\
        :of#1498312:pf#552548:bf#8192:ff#1024:\
        :og#393216:pg#819200:bg#8192:fg#1024:\
        :oh#1212416:ph#838444:bh#8192:fh#1024:


the disklabel for sd2:

  f:   552548  1498312    unused     1024  8192         # (Cyl. 1877*- 2569*)
  g:  1657644   393216    unused     1024  8192         # (Cyl.  492*- 2569*)

Now, each time I try to newfs /dev/rsd2a I get "Device not configured"

What is it, I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks for you help,
Miguel Mena
