Disktab stopped being used around version 3.2G. Disklabel determines the
partition
sizes from the disk geometry, which is read from the disk. Just use
"RZ1DA-VW"
for the disk type (or whatever the "file" command reports).

disklabel -wr /dev/rz0 rz1da

We have an Alpha Server DS20 with factory installed Tru64 Unix 4.0f and
DS-RZ1DA-VW 9.1Gb Drives. There does not seem to be a listing in the
'disktab' for this type of drive.
Does anyone know the default partition sizes? (a,b,d,e,f,g,h)
If I need to use disklabel, what is the disk type I need to use?
