who answer my question :

>Does anyone have /etc/disktab entries for QUANTUM _EMPIRE_2100S(2.1GB)
>and QUANTUM-XP34301-1051 4.1GB disks
>for the first disk I am interesting also for Ultrix as well.

the soluthion is that:
        
        Digital UNIX and ULTRIX V4.0 and later can get the
        geometry information directly from the disk, without
        the need for a disktab entry. The driver supplies
        a default partition table. For ULTRIX and disks larger
        than 2 GB, the partition table will need to be customized.

        On Digital UNIX to take advantage of the feature:

                disklabel -wr /dev/rrz#c some-name

        On ULTRIX one of:

                newfs /dev/rrz#c some-name

        or:

                newfs /dev/rrz#c /dev/rrz#c
