[SPARCbook] Solaris 2.6 and Iomega Jazz drive?

[Len Rose]

THis should work:

Place the following in /etc/format.dat


disk_type="Jaz 1GB"\ 
   :ctrl=SCSI\ 
   :ncyl=1018:acyl=2:pcyl=1020:nhead=64\ 
   :nsect=32:rpm=3600:bpt=16384 

partition="Jaz 1GB"\ 
   :disk="Jaz 1GB":ctlr=SCSI\ 
   :2=0,2084864


THen format the drive, choosing your new disk type.. make sure you
add -m=0 to reserve 0 space when running newfs.
