Hi all,
We have an alpha 2000 running osf 3.0
We just have an internal scsi disk and we want to add an external
scsi disk. The disk we want to add is not a DEC disk, so its
specifications are not in /etc/disktab.
We gave the disk scsi ID 5 (and tried with 4 too)
We followed the manual, boot from genvmunix, created a new kernel
using doconfig, and finally, after booting from that new kernel we
created the new nodes with MAKEDEV rz4.
So far everything went fine.
BUT when we mede a disklabel
# disklabel -w -r rz4 RZxx
It did not work, RZxx was not found.
Last week we did the same operation with another disk (not a DEC disk
either) and it worked with RZxx, and RZxx was not in /etc/disktab.
Is it a problem of the disk?
Is it a problem of the kernel configuration?
Is it a problem of /etc/disktab?
What is happening to us? Any clues will be appreciated,
TIA
