I defined the MO as followed;

# /dev/rsd2c:
type: SCSI
disk: SONY
label: 
flags:
bytes/sector: 1024
sectors/track: 32
tracks/cylinder: 64
sectors/cylinder: 2048
cylinders: 153
total sectors: 313344
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # milliseconds
drivedata: 0 

3 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
c:   313344        0    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.    0 -
152)


After this I issued -


hotdog# newfs /dev/rsd2c

hotdog# mount /dev/sd2c /mnt
ffs: /dev/sd2c on /mnt: incorrect super block

I tried to use sd2a but this will not allow me to the newfs as it
complain with:

hotdog# newfs /dev/rsd2a   
write error: 313343
wtfs: Invalid argument
