The disks show up, but the big question is what next.

I will have to go home to see the exact error, but I believe it told me the
disk was not labeled when I tried to newfs it.  I also did not have a
disktab entry (default partitioning information) for the RZ24.

I hate to be dense, but could someone send me step-by-step instructions to
get from a freshly formatted disk on a netbooted VS3100/M76 to the newfs
stage?  I'm pretty familiar with Ultrix, SunOS, Solaris, and IRIX, but
every O/S has its little quirks and differences and I haven't quite figured
out all of those for NetBSD.

Thanks,
