  You did not specify the Series (300/400/600/800) or the Release. Because
the "cs80describe" which you mentioned (and which I do not know anything
about) is only mentioned in the Series 300/400 disktab, I will assume
Series 300/400 and 7.0 (but the story is also valid for 7.0 on the other
mentioned Series).

> Since this is a new disk, there is no entry in /etc/disktab.

  It is somewhat new but the entry should be in /etc/disktab for the
above mentioned Series and Release.
  Make sure that you have the 7.0 disktab from /etc/newconfig and use
the model *number* of your disk, not the model *name* (Believe it or
not, your "Series 6000 Model 670H" is the name, not the number. It's all
marketing jive and yes your car has a similar name versus number-for-
ordering-purposes distiction.).
  The model number is probably (Heh, I'm just a software type!) on the
serial number (Heh, great YAN!) identification plate/sticker. It
probably is (HP) 2203A and if so search on 2203 in your
/etc/newconfig/disktab.

  Hope this helps.
