Most certainly not! I'm writing this message on my IIsi running NetBSD. :-)
The problems were solved by a couple of persistent souls in May.

Someone probably has the numbers, but you can probably make up something
close. The numbers don't need to be exact, they just need to give you
the right amount of space. Years ago, before scsi, these numbers were used
to tune performance quite well. With scsi, though, we loose the knowledge
of where a sector is (which track, which head, which sector-in-track).
In fact, some drives (I doubt the EZ135) actually varry the # of sectors
per track, so mkfs wants useless numbers. YMMV.

puma is "puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us". Make sure you spell it right. I often
got it wrong before I got it memorized. :-) It's IP address is:
198.82.200.98
