Crazy soon.

I have attempted to partition it with fdisk {BSD} as well as pfdisk. Not too sure what is the correct sequence. I have tried disklabel with and without fdisk partitioning. Please let me know what I should do in sequence. Any help appreciated! I have spent three whole nights with this... I hope I am not over killing.. I wrote this disktab entry which gives the error - partition c: partition extends past end of unit partition e: partition extends past end of unit ST11200N| Seagate Sun1 1.05 SCSI:\ :dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:se#512:ns#73:nt#15:nc#1872:rm#4400: \ :pa#907143:oa#0:ta=4.2BSD:ba#8192:fa#1024: \ :pb#127996:ob#907143:ta=swap: \ :pc#2059140:oc#0: \ :pe#1023968:oe#1035139:ta=4.2BSD:ba#8192:fa#1024: These are close specifications of the disk: Specifications ST11200N Hawk 1 UNFORMATTED CAPACITY (MB) ________________1,248 FORMATTED CAPACITY (xx SECTORS) (MB) _____1,054 AVERAGE SECTORS PER TRACK ________________73 ACTUATOR TYPE ____________________________VOICE COIL TRACKS ___________________________________28,080 CYLINDERS ________________________________1,872 (user) HEADS ____________________________________15 DISCS (3.5 in) ___________________________8 MEDIA TYPE _______________________________THIN FILM RECORDING METHOD _________________________ZBR RLL (1,7) INTERNAL TRANSFER RATE (mbits/sec) _______23.2 to 40.6 EXTERNAL TRANSFER RATE (mbyte/sec) _______4 Async EXTERNAL TRANSFER RATE (mbyte/sec) _______10 Sync SPINDLE SPEED (RPM) ______________________5,411 AVERAGE LATENCY (mSEC) ___________________5.4 BUFFER ___________________________________256 Kbyte Read Look-Ahead, Adaptive, Multi-Segmented Cache INTERFACE ________________________________SCSI-2 Fast BYTES PER TRACK __________________________41,660 avg.
