Although I got a disktab for my 1.2 GB Wren 7 (Seagate ST41200n
094601-12G) I cannot boot from it normally.  In the monitor I can see
that irt stopa after: "SCSI 53C90A Controller. Target 7, as sc0 at
0x2014000."  At that point I hit the power key and enter "n" to say
that I don't want to turn off the power and the boot process continues.
 Ther are a few unusual messages:
/dev/rsd0b: CANNOT READ: BLK 8
/dev/rsd0b: UNEXPECTED INCONSITENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
Reboot failed...help!
Faking root mount entries
Eventually I get the # prompt at which entering "Control-D" puts me
into the normal NeXT environment.   When I set up the HD with buildisk,
the message said that a 660MB disk was being formatted, because there
wasn't a BLD file for the 1.2 GB disk.  
Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to boot normally?  Will
this problem be solved by system 2.0?
