Recently, through operator error,  the /u filesystem was
very thoroughly trashed.  Only by quite a few calculations
was a real guru able to reconstruct the system.  What is
missing from the installation documentation is what parameters
mkfs uses to set up the initial file systems.

Does anyone know how to get that information from the 
original installation of XENIX. 

The hardware configuration in this case was a Sperry IT, with
a 40 megabyte Miniscribe Harddisk.

Thanks in advance.
