I am installing NetBsd via tape onto a Sun 3/150. The tape drive is a
Wangtek 5525es and the hard disk is a Maxtor 380 meg full height.  So far
everything is working, typing edlabel and print after the tape boots produces:

edlable>print
        type_num:4       
        sub_type:0      
       type_name:SCSI disk
       pack_name:fictitious
    bytes/sector:512
   sectors/track:35
 tracks/cylinder:15
       cylinders:1224
sectors/cylinder:525

partition   start     (c/t/s)      nblks        (c/t/s)         type
a(root)       0      (0/00/00)   536870911  (1022611/03/31)*    unused

The question I have is how did Netbsd come up with the "nblks" number
(536870911)?  Does the "(c/t/s) mean cylinders/tracks/sectors? And if so how
did it come up with "(1022611/03/31)"?
