Is the format.dat that comes with SunOS correct?  It has a (commented out)
entry for the 191-766 which one two new drives flakes out and tries to
access sectors past the last track (1614).  I tried correcting a block
miscount in the partition table, but that didn't help.  I managed to cook
up a restricted fromat.dat which only had 1580 or so cylinders, but
installboot doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone help me?

	Thanks,
