ok, all you have to do is plug the disk into your scsi port and then

% /usr/etc/scsimodes /dev/rsd1a (or whatever your scsi drive is 
connected to. If you have an internal disk, the first external 
should be /dev/rsd1a, if you don't have an internal, it should
be /dev/rsd0a). This will spit out the info you need to make a 
disk tab:

	SCSI information for /dev/rsd0a
	Drive type: MAXTOR XT-8760S
	1024 bytes per sector
	28 sectors per track
	15 tracks per cylinder
	1632 cylinder per volume
	4 spare sectors per cylinder
	45 alternate tracks per volume
	676415 useable sectors on volume

	...and soforth.

(I don't have a WREN so I can't give you it's info... but it should
be easy enough to figure out.)
