[SunRescue] Disklabel Problem

So, on a lark, I decided to install NEXTSTEP 3.3 on my Sparc 10. It was
nifty, but overly slow, so I decided to move back to Solaris. And when I
tried to load Solaris, it complained that it couldn't understand the
disklabel. No problem, I thought. I'll just boot up linux and build a
new disklabel during the installation process. Well, the disklabel tool
doesn't know what to put into a HP D2076B scsi disk.
So, does anyone know what values I should manually enter to build the sun
disklabel (heads, sectors/track, cylinders, alternate cylinders, physical
cylinders, rotation speed, interleave factor and extra sectors per
cylinder?) or where I should look to find such values? I tried searching
on the HP web site, four or five general Web searches and still, no dice.
Thanks a bunch for any suggestions,
