Ok, I have a 72 meg CDC Wren II drive and tried to install it
using 'idtools'. The format seemed to go fine and so did the verify.
This is on a 3b2/310. I used the these params:
id 5
cyl 925
trk/cyl 9
sec/trk 18
bytes/trk 512
Then entered the bad track list and the software returned ok from
verify ok. What does one do next? I tried to mkfs and received this:
Bad sanity word in Vtoc on drive 1
followed by 'mkfs' trying to make a file systems but bombing out with
a read error. I must not be doing this correctly. Any help?
The drive is the same as the 72meg number 0 drive.
Model # 94155-086
Thanks.

You must install a vtoc with fmthard. If you use sysadm you
can do it with that. If you use fmthard check the manual for usage.
This puts the vtoc on the drive and then you can do a mkfs.

Any help? You need to put a VTOC on the drive by using the fmthard(1M) command. This command is defined in the System Administration Reference Manual. Also, take a look at the prtvtoc(1M) command to see what the vtoc table should look like. The task before you is to enter a vtoc as shown in the example with the prtvtoc(1M) command into a file, then execute the the fmthard(1M) command as given here: fmthard -c2 -m -s file_with_vtoc -n volume_name /dev/rdsk/c?d?s6 I am assuming with the -c2 option that this is the second disk. If this second disk is daisy chained off of the root drive, then the device to use is most likely /dev/rdsk/c1d1s6, if this is a disk off of a XDC card, then the device might be /dev/rdsk/c2d0s6 or /dev/rdsk/c2d1s6. Determining the correct device name is left as an exercise for the student. =============================================================================== Philip A.
