For some reason, when I try to do:
newfs /dev/rsd0a
on my 3100, I get a "device not configured" error. This is with a Quantum
Prodrive LPS (yes, my vax has a disk I stole from a Mac) that is configured
as follows:
# /dev/rsd0c:
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI disk
label: prodrive
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 65
tracks/cylinder: 4
sectors/cylinder: 260
cylinders: 1818
total sectors: 479350
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
3 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 260000 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 999)
b: 130000 260260 swap # (Cyl. 1001 - 1500)
c: 479350 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1843*)
Does anybody see anything terribly wrong with this? I'm young enough that I
never had to partition disks by hand, but I think I got it right. :)
To make things even more interesting, a:
swapon /dev/sd0b
works just fine...
The kernel does see the drive when booting.
