I have a SCSI controller on a netbsd machine on which I would like to
connect an external device configured as a SCSI drive.
When I connect the device to the SCSI connection and turn it on, the
following message appears on the console:
ncr0: restart (scsi reset).
sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f86fc000.
sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f86fc200.
sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f86fc400.
sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f86fc600.
sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8
According to the manufacturer, the device is permanently set with SCSI
id #4, and for an HP workstation is created using:
mknod /dev/rdsk/4s0 c 47 0x201400
The diskinfo command on HP returns a size of 409600 Kbytes, 512
bytes/sector, and 819201 blocks per disk.
My question, which major/minor number would I use to create this device
on a netbsd machine?
Thanks in advance.
