hi, there

i tried to install netbsd on my sparcclassic. since
the original harddrive was just about 200MB, i got a
IBM Ultrastar 2XP DCHS-34550, which is 4.5GB. i got a
disklabel error when the installation just started.
after some hacking, i thought the block size of this
harddrive (514) is the problem. need to change that to
512. i tried a lot to modify the disklabel. it seems
like the block was already changed to 512, but some
other numbers in the disklabel were not correct, so
still couldn't do the installation.

anybody has experience on this hard drive? or anybody
knows what numbers need to be put in the disklabel for
this specific hard drive?

thanks a lot!
