- I'm trying to format a Micropolis 1548-15. Neither SunOS 4.1.1 nor
- Solaris 2.0 (FCS) can apparently manage it. The best format.dat entry
- I have come up with so far is
-
- disk_type = "Micropolis 1548-15" \
- : ctlr = SCSI : fmt_time = 30 \
- : ncyl = 2097 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 2099 : nhead = 15 : nsect = 107 \
- : rpm = 3600
-
- I'm trying to set it up like this:
-
- partition> print
- Current partition table (puffer):
- Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
- 0 root wm 0 - 15 12.54MB (16/0/0)
- 1 swap wu 16 - 56 32.13MB (41/0/0)
- 2 backup wu 0 - 2096 1.60GB (2097/0/0)
- 3 unassigned wm 57 - 108 40.75MB (52/0/0)
- 4 unassigned wm 109 - 236 100.31MB (128/0/0)
- 5 usr wm 237 - 300 50.16MB (64/0/0)
- 6 home wm 301 - 428 100.31MB (128/0/0)
- 7 unassigned wm 429 - 2096 1.28GB (1668/0/0)
