Hi everyone,

Been having some problems partitioning an RZ56...the default scheme 
worked, but didn't partition it as well as i would like it to. [yes, you 
can start cringing now.] So i modified it a bit; basically, removed some 
parititons i didn't want, and changed a partition to reflect it's new 
size. Now, unless my math is completly wtrong or my calculator is broked 
(or some combination thereof)...it shoul dbe fine.

disktab entry:

rz56|RZ56|DEC RZ56 Winchester:\
        :dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:ns#54:nt#15:nc#1632:\
        :pa#32768:oa#0:ba#8192:fa#1024:\
        :pb#131072:ob#32768:bb#4096:fb#1024:tb=swap:\
        :pc#1299174:oc#0:bc#8192:fc#1024:\
        :pd#1135331:od#163840:bg#8192:fg#1024:\
        #:pd#292530:od#163840:bd#8192:fd#1024:\
        #:pe#292530:oe#456370:be#8192:fe#1024:\
        #:pf#550274:of#748900:bf#8192:ff#1024:\
        :pg#1135334:og#163840:bg#8192:fg#1024:\
       # :ph#567668:oh#731506:bh#8192:fh#1024:

results:

# disklabel -w -B -b rzboot -s bootrz rz1 rz56           # (the disk i'm 
							 # trying to label is 
							 # on rz1; my bootstrap 
							 # disk is rz0)
disklabel: sectors/track 0
#

needless to say, this is really annyoing me. no man pages, no 
documentation, nothing. unless i'm not seeing something, this should 
work just fine. then again, it is my first time doing the whole disklabel 
thing. For all i know, this error message is telling me it's the wrong 
phase of the moon or something...

anyway, any help would be apprichated. Thanks :)
