Hi, all: I'm trying install NetBSD onto a DS3100 (24MB RAM), and am using a
i386 NetBSD machine as my "helper." The DS3100 does /not/ have any OS
currently installed on it (it was a diskless workstation salvaged from the
trash).

My problem is this: when I try to label the disk (a Seagate ST1480 SCSI
~411MB HD), I get the following output:

[Note: no entry for a "ST1480" in /etc/disktab. Also, by this time I have
already manually created & edited a label using "disklabel -e -r sd1".]

netbsd# disklabel -B -b rzboot -s bootrz sd1
disklabel: Bootstrap doesn't leave room for disk label.
netbsd# disklabel -r sd1

type: SCSI
disk:
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 9
sertors/cylinder: 567
cylinders: 1476
total sectors: 836892
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
[...]

5 partitions:
#	size	offset	fstype	[fsize	bsize	cpg]
a	32886	0	4.2BSD	1024	8192	16	# 0-57
b	98658	32886	swap				# 58-231
c	836892	0	unused	0	0		# 0-1475
d	836892	0	unused	0	0		# 0-1475
e	705348	131544	4.2BSD	1024	8192	16	# 232-1475

[Note: this was re-typed, not captured output.]


This is my first time doing a NetBSD install, so if I'm making any glaring
errors, please feel free to point them out to me in no uncertain terms. :)

What do I need to do to get past this "Bootstrap doesn't leave room for
disk label" error?

Thanks!

Paul.
