I have a Fujitsu 2246E ESDI diskdrive and an Emulex MD21 SCSI/ESDI board.
I would like to format the drive (with this controller) using the SUN
format program.  Does anybody have experience with this combination and
knowledge of the parameter setting ?   I have the drive configured for
hard sectoring and 512 byte sectors.  Is the SUN format program using hard
sectoring ?  It is not one of the parameters you can set I think.

Any help will be appreciated.
