Hello

     I have a 2Gig IBM Ultrastar drive that was used in a AS/400.  I want
to use this drive in my FreeBSD machine.  I believe AS/400 uses 520 byte
sectors.  How do I low-level format this drive under FreeBSD for 512 byte
sectors?  Would it be possible to use the scsi command?

Thanks, Eric Chet --> ec0@ganet.net
