- If you run format, just specify type "other" It will ask you some
- questions. You should answer data cylinders 2105, alternate cylinders
- 2, heads 15, data sectors/track 87, RPM 3600,
- disk name "Wren 8 ST41650N".
-
- Go to the partition menu and punch in your numbers. I use
- partition use start length approx size
- b swap 0 51/0/0 32 megs
- c (entire) 0 2105/0/0
- h /aurora1 0 2054/0/0 1300 megs
-
- By convention, partition c is where you keep a record of how big the disk is.
- It's not usually mounted. Although people who just need on big partition
- often newfs /dev/rsd?c and use it. Parition a is usually used for root
- paritions, b for swap, and g for /usr. h often is where folks put a /home
- partition.
-
- If you don't understand about sizing partitions, just holler.
