Hello,
I'm attempting to attach a 9GB Seagate Elite to a Sun
SPARCstation II. I've managed to set the proper SCSI-ID
and terminated the drive at the end of my SCSI chain. When
I boot the system, it tells me that it has found Target 4
on esp0: However, it does not assign it to a driver
in /dev/ I've already got three drives installed - (sd0-2)
and assumed that this drive would be sd3. When I went to
create a newfs (newfs /dev/sd3c), it told me that the device
didn't exist. So I checked /dev/ and it does exist. I tried
remaking sd3 with MAKEDEV, but I still cannot access the new
drive.
I'm wondering if the drive is too big for such an old Sun.
Any other ideas to get this working would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ankush
