We have a spare 300 Mbyte SCSI disk made by Emulex which noone else is
using, so I am trying to hang it on a 98265A SCSI disc interface on a
9000/370.  I'm pretty sure I have the device files correctly set up, and
indeed mediainit (with no optional arguments) completes without obvious
errors.  However, newfs complains quickly that there's no space left on the
device.  Moreover, diskinfo gives the following report:

/dev/rdsk/0s0
	     vendor: EMULEX
	 product id: MD21/S2     ESDI
	       type: direct access device
	       size: 589826 bytes
   bytes per sector: 1

whereas the disktab entry I've created says:

EMULEX_noswap|EMULEX:\
	:no swap:ns#34:nt#15:nc#1225:\
	:s0#624750:b0#8192:f0#1024:\
	:se#512:rm#3600:

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,
