Can anyone post a brief summary? Most likely, you will want to create just a single partition in your disklabel. Here's a disktab entry for it, as it can be found in recent systems: mta3230|mo230|IBM MTA-3230 230 Meg 3.5inch Magneto-Optical:\ :ty=removeable:dt=SCSI:rm#3600:\ :se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#216:sc#2048:su#444384:\ :pa#444384:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#0:ta=4.2BSD:\ :pc#444384:oc#0: Install it with disklabel -Brw sd1 mta3230 Note that you are strongly advised to *disable* the format tweaking in newfs: newfs -t 0 -u 0 [perhaps other options] /dev/rsd1a ^^^^^^^^^ See the man page for the hairy details. p.s.: You might also find Shunsuke Akiyama's ``od'' driver useful.
