Well my SCSI hard drive came today, it is a Quantum 1.0 gig. Unfortunatly I am having no luck...here is my situation (no tmuch differnt from last time but...) I have a SparcStation 1 It came with 2 hard drives (both 105 MB) one has SUNOS on it..the other is dead. WHen it boots it complains that /var is missing...accoprding to /etc/fstab it is on the hard drive that died :( SunOS needless to say is not happy about this. To add insult to injury...being all on 1 105 MB drive (some of which is swap space)....there are NO MAN PAGES and no other docs. It is just me and my broken system. ok...soo... from unsmae -a I get: SunOS medusa 4.1.3_U1 1 SUN4C It has 24 MB of ram...now onto the problems... I type fdformat it asks me to put a floppy in the drive...I do... then it complains...errors... says something is wrong if I halt the system and issue eject the disk ejects. from the boot prom (same place that I eject the floppy) I can probe-scsi and see both the boot drive and my new 1 gig (boot drive is ID 3...new drive is ID 6) Back in SunOS I type format...it says "searching for disks" then comes up with only 1 disk...which is the one that was booted off from. WHat do I need to do to use this disk? I was told i needed to partition it what do I use to do that? any ideas apreciated...im really new to Suns...I wanna get thi sup so badly -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** sjc@delphi.com ** "All authority is quite degrading." -- Oscar Wilde
