Hi,
Thanks to the MIG's (id est, Most Illuminated Gurus):
Gyula Szemenyei <szemgy_at_rkk.hu>
alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com
H. Scherrer <hs_at_idefix.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de>
Andreas Grzybowski <grzybows_at_transtec.de>
who gave the precise directions:
1) Add the following to /etc/disktab (this was a suggestion from Gyula,
who always uses it when adding third part disks but may not be crucial):
SEAGATE|BARRACUDA|rz30:\
:ty=dynamic_geometry:dt=SCSI:ns#-1:nt#-1:nc#-1:
The alias "rz30" was chosen by myself. Be sure this entry does not exist
in your /etc/disktab already. Choose a higher number if necessary.
2) From your chevron prompt >>> check the scsi address the new disk is
recognized by
sh dev
Let us call the address as "#" from now on.
3) Check the /dev directory in order to see if rz# already is there.
If it is not, create it with
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV rz#
4) Allow disk properties to be accessed
disklabel -rw /dev/rrz#c rz30
disklabel -r /dev/rrz#c
5) Change partitions as desired with
disklabel -e /dev/rrz#c
6) Create new file systems to be mounted on the disk (in my case I
am using partitions a, b, e):
newfs /dev/rrz#a
newfs /dev/rrz#b
newfs /dev/rrz#e
7) Edit /etc/fstab to mount file systems on those partitions and
mount them manually or reboot.
Thanks for all,

We have just bought a Seagate Barracuda ST34572N 4.55 Gb hard drive from a
third part and would be grateful to get informations on how to install it
in a DEC Alpha 3000-300 (DU V3.2D-1).
