Date: Sun, 26 May 1996 20:21:34 +0000 Organization: TU-Harburg Lines: 24 Message-ID: <31A8BD4D.3E4A3C1D@hp00.rz.tu-harburg.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: s15.dialin.tu-harburg.de Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b3 (X11; I; Linux 1.99.6 i486) Hi ! I tried the whole day to disklabel an RZ56-DEC SCSI Drive for NetBSD/pmax to use it with my DecSystem5100. I'm using a PC with an Adaptec 1542B running NetBSD 1.1. When i try to do a disklabel -R sd0 rz56 (rz56 is my protofile), i end up with the error aha0: DMA beyond end of ISA and the system locks up. The SCSI disk is 636 MB of size and i'm trying to label it with 3 partitions (root, swap, whole-disc, rest for -usr). I think i've got the right values for the cylinder-sizes. I tried to label with and without aha1542 bios enabled...same problem. Was anybody successful in that case or is it just possible to label the disk with netbsd/386 ?? Maybe a special disklabel program ? (the pmax-Version of disklabel doesn't compile on netbsd/386 :-(( ). Thanks for help, Jan. from: Jan Mueller smjm2707@hp00.rz.tu-harburg.de == 100.64727@germany.net
