- I remember that this was covered a couple of months ago, but I didn't
- think I'd need it then. Well I do now. How do I go about installing
- Ultrix on a non-DEC "unsupported" drive. When we try to
- do the install of Ultrix, it comes up with:
-
- Unable to obtain device geometry for rz0.
- This is not a supported system disk.
-
- Unfortunately, it is the only disk. It is a Seagate ST1480N, which
- is supposed to be close to an RZ25. It is 400 MB, but I'm not sure
- whether that is formatted or unformatted.
-
- Anyway, we'd like to get the installation done, so any help would
- be appreciated. This would be a great thing to add to the Ultrix
- FAQ on gatekeeper and friends.
