Here's how I did it on my Quantum P105:

Using SCSIProbe, find out product code for drive.
Using a disk/file editor, open up resource fork of HDSC Setup, find the word
'SEAGATE'.  Replace one of the product codes in that sector with the product
code for my drive.  (they are Pascal strings)
Run HDSC Setup-- it doesn't work.  Do a little hacking, find out that for
some reason it won't recognize a drive with SCSI ID 6.  Change SCSI ID to 1
and try again. It works (no, I don't know why).  Re-initilaize disk. (the
disk used the old paritioning scheme that HDSC Setup does not recognize
anymore).  Partition as 'Standard A/UX'.  Partition Custom, delete A/UX
free slice and mac partition.  Re-create Mac Partition at 10MB (you can make
yours bigger).  Re-create slice 3 free A/UX partition at the rest of the disk
less 1K.
Now start A/UX install. I told the Install routine I was a HDSC 80.
You should probably tell it you are an HDSC 160.
I found that when it was installed, the device file for slice 3 (the free
slice) was not there.  You shouldn't have that problem (because you are telling
it you are a bigger disk).

You will need to make an entry in /etc/disktab before you use newfs on your
free slice.  See the unix manuals on that.

If you still can't get it to work, I'd be glad to swap disks :-)...
