I'm trying to install NetBSD on a Dec 500a with a 9 gig quantum scsi drive.
Everytime I get to the point where the partitions are supposed to be created
I get the following error:
Status: Failed
Command: /sbin/newfs /dev/rsd0a
Press any key to continue
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
With 16065 sectors per cylinder, minimum cylinders per group is 64
This requires the block size to be changed from 8192 to 32768
and the fragment size to be changed from 1024 to 4096
At this point I'm just using the standard recomended partitions and any
ideas would be great.
Thanks,
Laurence
