[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] HELP!!

Oh, how I wish every amiga hardrive system worked with HDtoolbox, like my A590.
I had to setup my brother-inlaw's Cltd with a used Micropolis with no info.
The Procedure for setting up a Cltd, with no FedX help, and unknown drive info.:
	run the dumb format program on the drive's SCSI address
	run the "ask drive How Big? program.
		determine how many sectors there are
		calculate a rational number of surfaces*tracks*sectors-per-track
	create a mountlist, etc. for DevInstall@devs:devsetup (or like that)
	run Devinstall#$%^@!(whatever)
	in CLI or shell AmigaDOS mount and format each partition 
From there, you want to install workbench, etc. on the hardrive, and customize
your boot disk and enviroment.

This was on an old A500 Cltd interface, I have no idea of how Kronos handles
it.  I've done this Cltd, a Supra A500, and my A590.  Did I say that I greatly
prefer the A590's software (HDtoolbox).....
