Subject:   How to format a SCSI disk?

I read the scsi(8) manual page and the related pages.  I have an old disk
that has some bad blocks, and I want to reformat the drive.

This is what happened:

Script started on Mon May 22 18:25:31 1995
supfcs@pcfb1:~# time scsi -f /dev/rsd2d -c "4 0 0 0 0 0"
Need the command format string.
Usage:

  scsi -f device -d debug_level                    # To set debug level
  scsi -f device -p [-b bus] [-l lun]              # To probe all devices
  scsi -f device -r [-b bus] [-t targ] [-l lun]    # To reprobe a device
  scsi -f device [-v] -c cmd_fmt [arg0 ... argn] \ # To send a command...
                 -o count out_fmt [arg0 ... argn]  #   EITHER (for data out)
                 -i count in_fmt                   #   OR (for data in)

"out_fmt" can be "-" to read output data from stdin;
"in_fmt" can be "-" to write input data to stdout;

If debugging is not compiled in the kernel, "-d" will have no effect
0.006u 0.030s 0:00.10 30.0% 392+622k 1+0io 4pf+0w
supfcs@pcfb1:~# .
exit

Script done on Mon May 22 18:26:28 1995

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks...
