I'm running SCO UNIX 3.2.0 on an IBM PS/2 Model 80, and I'm attempting to add a SCSI disk. I have the stock ESDI controller with two drives attached, the primary is an IBM 110M (set up as a single partition as root) and a Micropolis 330M (split equally as /usr/spool/news and /usr/local). I have an Adaptec host adapter that has an existing Archive 150M tape attached and all above is working fine. To this, I am adding a Micropolis 660M SCSI disk. I have it all cabled properly and the id's set. However, when I attempt to perform "mkdev hd" (like the doc's say), it only lets me choose SCSI adapter 2 or 3. If I choose one of these, I get a shift error from /usr/lib/mkdev/scsi and the process aborts. Alternatively, I can issue "mkdev scsi", and everything appears to work. The kernel gets rebuilt, but there are no new entries in /dev on which to perform "mkfs". I have RTFM, and it indicates to run "mkdev hd" twice. It won't even run once. Does anyone have any hints? Also, how would you configure the file systems? My initial thought is to use the primary ESDI as root (I don't have much choice), the secondary ESDI as /usr/spool/news and the SCSI as /usr/local (without partitioning any of the drives. Any other good ideas? Thanks, Eric Deese (osu-cis!liebert!esd) 614-841-5508 Liebert Corp.
