[rescue] hard drive problem: probe sees it, format doesn't

[Jeremy RJ Towers]

Hi,



it says in the notes here:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Systems/Sun4c/CPU_Station_2.html

Install Load Board 501-1667 in systems without a disk drive and SBus cards.

Perhaps your load is too low now with the new disk drive?

Also, be sure that your disk drive has no termination; the internal drives 
are connected via stubs, and the bus is terminated on the board.

Make sure that you are not supplying terminator power from this disk, see

http://www.hgst.com/hdd/support/dors/dors_ps.pdf

Try making partitions less than 512Mb.

The link below will give you the track, sector, etc values for your disk 
using its model number:
