Lots of you reminded me that you can't have
over 2Gb partitions on SunOS. I know :)

Before you can partition the disk, the system must
recognize it. It would not do this without the format.dat.
Here is the correct info (well, it works):

disk_type = "Seagate ST34371W" \
        : ctlr = SCSI : fmt_time = 4 \
        : ncyl = 5147 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 5288 : nhead = 10 : nsect = 165 \
        : rpm = 7200 : bpt = 102500

Here is my format, for the curious:

Current partition table (original sd3):
     partition a - starting cyl 0, # blocks 3795000 (2300/0/0)
     partition b - starting cyl 0, # blocks 0 (0/0/0)
     partition c - starting cyl 0, # blocks 8492550 (5147/0/0)
     partition d - starting cyl 2300, # blocks 3795000 (2300/0/0)
     partition e - starting cyl 4601, # blocks 900900 (546/0/0)
     partition f - starting cyl 0, # blocks 0 (0/0/0)
     partition g - starting cyl 0, # blocks 0 (0/0/0)
     partition h - starting cyl 0, # blocks 0 (0/0/0)

Thanks to all who responded, and a couple in particular with
the right drive :), whose names I don't have handy.
