Hmm, I've got: (on a PS/2 Model 80 netware server)
Device # 1 IBM 0661467 (26000001)
In the partition table, it has:
NetWare Partition 0 381 381.9 Meg
If you haven't figured anything out by Monday, e-mail me, and I'll
down the server (test machine) and see what pfdisk says about the
geometry.
The geometry probably is:
382 cyls, 64 heads, 32 sects.
or 382 cyls, 32 heads, 64 sects.
The IBM SCSI BIOS is doing translation I'm sure, but that shouldn't
matter.
