Hi NetBSD ppl.

i just got 2 rz23l's which are 120 mb a piece....
so i looked in my /etc/disktab and found it there.
i took the info and put it into my disklabel protofile as such:


type: SCSI
disk: rz23l
label: netbsd
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 39
tracks/cylinder: 4
sectors/cylinder: 156
cylinders: 1524
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
4 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:      524        0    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   
  b:       50      525      swap                        
  c:      300      576    unused     1024  8192         
  d:      650      877    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   


The /etc/disktab section reads:

rz23l|RZ23L|DEC RZ23L Winchester:\
        :ty=winchester:ns#39:nt#4:nc#1524:\
        :pa#32768:ba#8192:fa#1024:\
        :pb#66690:bb#4096:fb#1024:\
        :pc#237588:bc#8192:fc#1024:\
        :pd#35135:bd#8192:fd#1024:\
        :pe#35135:be#8192:fe#1024:\
        :pf#67860:bf#8192:ff#1024:\
        :pg#138130:bg#8192:fg#1024:\
        :ph#102995:bh#8192:fh#1024:


the command i use in ultrix is:

disklabel -R -B /dev/rz2a protofile

then:

dd if=miniroot-1.2 of=/dev/rrz2c seek=16 skip=16

then when i try to boot off netbsd 
everything goes well until i reach the point where
it displays like 20 lines of asc() or something
errors.. 

does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

thanks..

isaac.
