I got the disk used -- most of what I have is scrounged (the machine
is a Sparc LX) and I'm running INN on it with most of the INN
installation on a second 4 gig drive.  The drive that's going is my
boot drive.

Scsi format?  I made new file systems on both drives when I installed
NetBSD.  Is this something other than that?

I installed NetBSD around the first of January.  I would have thought
all that would have been done then.  And I have no idea how old the
drives are.
