Well, here's the full poop (as I know it for the moment). I first
tried just typing bim /dev/sd0c, aand that failed with the following:
sd0: Can't deal with 1024 bytes logical blocks
bim: Could not open /dev/sd0c
Then I read your message and thought "Stupid, you haven't configured
the disk or wrote the disk label yet!" So I tried to write the disk
label and configure the disk, and every time I touch /dev/*sd0* I get
the same message about 1024 byte logical blocks. I was thinking about
trying to write a label manually to the disk from the EPROM monitor,
but I don't want to go to all the trouble of computing the checksum by
hand on a label with (more than likely) a mistake in it. BTW,
disklabel and hexdump both report the same first line of the error
message, but hexdump follows it with:
hexdump: /dev/rsd0a: Device not configured
Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
