[SunHELP] Ultra 60 second hard drive

[Dieter Montanez]

forget all about "format" "devfsadm" or "boot -r". If you don't see
the drive using "probe-scsi-all" in OBP than you have a probably
a problem with the disk jumpers or the drive is bad. The suggestion
of just trying the one problematic disk and running probe-scsi-all
is a good one.

btw, all of the SCA cheetah's I have around run perfectly on U10,
U60 and E3000  without ANY jumpers.

Dieter
