I used /stand/sysinstall to label my disks -- here's the geometry that it came up with: sofa# disklabel /dev/rsd3e # /dev/rsd3e: type: SCSI disk: sd3s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 32 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 2048 cylinders: 1020 sectors/unit: 2090976 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 2090976 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1020*) e: 2090976 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1020*) As you can see, I only wanted one partition on the disk. You can either use /stand/sysinstall (carefully!), or can come up with a /etc/disktab entry for the device and then use disklabel to label your cartridge. If you do write a disktab entry, could you please send it to me / us -- it would be good to have around :-). James
