I am installing NetBsd via tape onto a Sun 3/150. The tape drive is a
Wangtek 5525es and the hard disk is a Maxtor 380 meg full height. So far
everything is working, typing edlabel and print after the tape boots produces:
edlable>print
type_num:4
sub_type:0
type_name:SCSI disk
pack_name:fictitious
bytes/sector:512
sectors/track:35
tracks/cylinder:15
cylinders:1224
sectors/cylinder:525
partition start (c/t/s) nblks (c/t/s) type
a(root) 0 (0/00/00) 536870911 (1022611/03/31)* unused
The question I have is how did Netbsd come up with the "nblks" number
(536870911)? Does the "(c/t/s) mean cylinders/tracks/sectors? And if so how
did it come up with "(1022611/03/31)"?
