We are using the following ST11200 entry, which is the same as SUN1.05
except the partitioning, for compatibility reasons.
 
disk_type = "SEAGATE ST11200N" \
        : ctlr = SCSI : fmt_time = 4 \
        : ncyl = 2036 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 2038 : nhead = 14 : nsect = 72 \
        : rpm = 5400
 
partition = "SEAGATE ST11200N" \
        : disk = "SEAGATE ST11200N" : ctlr = SCSI \
        : 2 = 0, 2052288

If you would like to get alittle bit more space (but incompatibility with
other 1GB disks), you could try the following, which i got from Hamilton:
 
disk_type = "SEAGATE ST11200N" \
        : ctlr = SCSI \
        : ncyl = 1878 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 1880 : nhead = 15 : nsect = 73 \
        : rpm = 5400 : bpt = 31410
 
partition = "SEAGATE ST11200N" \
        : disk = "SEAGATE ST11200N" : ctlr = SCSI \
        : 2 = 0, 2056410
