MightyFrame Formatting Maxtor XT-2190 followed by mkfs

screen shots...wow...it took us SO long to get here.

Working with Sasa via Skype, I figured out how to trick the MightyFrame to format a Maxtor XT-2190 (physical) hard drive on D1, while the MFM Emulator ran the OS on D0.  


I discovered some bizarre thing that slice 1 is not really healthy, but s3 is, so if I fsck s3, then copy any program I want to run to s3, then I can trick the thing into actually working!

So, after 4 tries, I finally succeed at formatting the Maxtor the "factory" way, as far as I can tell...

I used the description file I list here. (note I did this on the MightyFrame, NOT the UNIX PC).

at the end, I get an i/o error, but enough worked before that, that I just don't care. It's now a formatted, recognizable disk with slices and next, mkfs on s1 and s3!

So, here's the terminal/console output for the process:

See the VHB for the first time!  Note, no bootloader, but I don't care...I know exactly how to put one on.

mkdir wouldn't run from anywhere, until I copied it from /etc/mkdir to /usr/mkdir (where /usr is mounted to c0d0s3).  But then I have to specify the system to run THAT mkdir.
