Hello experts,

hopefully I do not bore you but there is an other question about
installing NetBSD on my hp320 (at this moment I cannot boot the
miniroot - see my former message).

The INSTALL document shows different numbers for sectors, tracks, etc.
as the HP-UX 7.0 /etc/disktab for the Disk HP7958A. If I calculate the
1K/sec numbers to 512bytes/sec I get the following table:

HP-UX	                       | NetBSD
-------------------------------+----------------------------
/etc/disktab entry for HP7958A |INSTALL | My calc|
-------------------------------+--------+--------+----------
                 |        1024 |    512 |    512 | bytes/sec
1K sec/track     | ns |     21 |     36 |     42 | sec/track
tracks/cyl       | nt |      6 |      7 |      6 | tracks/cyl
                 |    |    252 |    252 |    252 | sec/cyl
cyl/disk         | nc |   1013 |   1013 |   1013 | cyl
size of file     |    |        |        |        |
sys in 1K blocks | s0 | 127638 | 255276 | 255276 | total blocks
block size       | b0 |   8192 |
fragment size    | f0 |   1024 |
bytes/physical   |    |        |
sectors          | se |    256 |
rpm              | rm |   3600 |

Is there a mistake in my calculation, and if yes, which one?

Thanks in advance!
Uwe Kaufmann
