Subject: DECstation 2100 with Seagate 4766N system disk?

I want to buy a DECstation 2100 without  the internal 120  MByte disk and
use a Seagate 4766N (was CDC/Imprimis Wren IV)  disk with SCSI interface.
For the first time I want to boot the DS2100 from another DS  3100 with a
external DEC   380 MByte disk  and  a TK 50  cartridge  over an Ethernet.
Finally I want to format and partition the  Seagate disk and  install the
operating system on that disk so that I can subsequently boot from it.

Is this possible and a  reasonable idea?  How do I  format and  partition
the Seagate disk?  What must I do to make that disk the system disk?

Any help appreciated, Martin.
