Hi all.

I get the following error when I try to do newfs.:
# newfs -c 1024 /dev/rz2d 
rz2d: overlaps open partition (b)
newfs: /dev/rz2d: not a character-special device
Warning: calculated sectors per cylinder (1) disagrees with disk label 
(32)

/dev/rz2d:      26100 sectors in 26100 cylinders of 1 tracks, 1 sectors
        12.7MB in 26 cyl groups (1024 c/g, 0.50MB/g, 128 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:

.....(numbers).....



this is from the netbsd partition /dev/rz2a which i boot the miniroot
off of.

the drive is an old RZ23 (108MB) w/1523 cylinders.
here is the protofile i use to label my drive.
# Sample disk label prototype file for RZ25.   Note the outrageously bogus
# cylinder size - one block per cylinder.   It may be better to put
legitimate
# numbers in here, but be sure that if you do, the size of the c partition
# adds up to sectors/track * tracks/cylinder * cylinders.
