does anyone out there have a disktab for seagate st12400n drives? we
have a few of them and been having a lot of fun getting them to run with
anything other than dos, which is pretty disgusting...

there is dispute b/w what the manual says and what netbsd (and for that
matter nextstep) say for the parameters. netbsd and nextstep agree, but
give larger numbers. neither set of numbers works, but a smaller tracks
per sector does. its all very weird and makes me nervous putting any
data on the drive

didnt there used to be a disktab archive from the 386bsd era?
where did it go to?
