[comp.sys.sun] CDC 191-766 SCSI drive format.dat?

freedman@euclid.math.temple.edu (Avi Freedman) (10/26/90)

Is the format.dat that comes with SunOS correct?  It has a 
(commented out) entry for the 191-766 which one two new drives
flakes out and tries to access sectors past the last track (1614).
I tried correcting a block miscount in the partition table, but
that didn't help.  I managed to cook up a restricted fromat.dat
which only had 1580 or so cylinders, but installboot doesn't
seem to work.

Can anyone help me?

	Thanks,
		Avi Freedman
