Help....!!

I am trying to get my ST 157N to format but it wont go past cylinder 557
It is supposed to be 615 cyls 26 sec/trk and 6 heads.

Can someone confirm that this is correct or maybe offer a little advice
as to what I may be doing wrong.

My mountlist entries are for two partitions DH0: and DH1: with DH0:
starting at cyl 0 to cyl 38 and DH1: for the rest.

This type of arrangement works fine for the ST 138N.

p.s. The system is an A500 with KS 1.2 and an Amdrive SCSI interface.
