Hi,

    After our first NetBSD Meeting in Tübingen (Germany), I have a
VS3100m76 from
    Michael. I have add a RZ25 to the RZ23 on Board.
    How must I calculate the Partitions for disklabel when I used
disklabel -e /dev/rsd0c.
    disklabel -t /dev/rsd0c give me the follow parameters :

    bytes/sector : 512
    sectors/track: 62
    tracks/cylinder : 9
    sectors/cylinders : 558
    cylinders : 1492
    total sectors : 832527
    rpm : 3600
    interleave : 1
    trackskew : 0
    cylinderskew : 0
    headswitch : 0

    a: 832527        0        Systen V

    This is with the RZ25 and I would test to install the bootloader to
boot from this drive.

    Is there somebody who has resolved this problem and it is possible
with NetBSD1.4 to
    boot from SCSI-Drives???

    Thanks.

    /Christophe.
