here's the one I'm using:

scsi406: \
        :ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#406:rm#3600:\
        :pa#765952:oa#65536:ba#8192:fa#1024:ta=4.2BSD: \
        :pb#65504:ob#32:tb=swap: \
        :pc#831488:oc#0: \
        :pd#831488:od#0:

this is from pre-2.0 days, but I'm using the disk under -current with
no problem. At one time it was my root disk, but not any more.
