Betr.: [parisc-linux] Formatting Scsi disks
Quoted 4 lines
I had an odd thing happen.....
i took a disk out of a 712 & had it in a mac for a while
when i put it back into the 712, & tried to put linux back on it, it got =
as
Quoted 1 line
far as fdisk which then said that it couldnt write a partition table to =
it
Quoted 11 lines
the disk still works in the mac - am i missing something daft here ?
the search command from the boot console on the 712 sees the disk the kernel sees & correctly identifies the disk
just wont partition it
any ideas?
try zeroing out the first few blocks:
dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/offending_scsi_drive bs=3D512 count=3D4
(think if you need a backup before you do this!)
Good luck,
Jurriaan

I've decided to load HP-UX on the E55 I've been playing with since Debian doesn't work very well on it right now. I'm sending this OT because I need to know where dd lives on an HP-UX 11.11 box. I'm in a limited shell and need an absolute path to dd to get it to accomplish the above. It's so limited it won't even give me the ls command. Any of you HP-UX guys out there? Since I'm at home I don't have access to an HP-UX box at work. Thanks.

Hello,
I hope the status will change soon. I also have an E55 and I use it under HP-UX. But I want to switch as fast as possible to linux.
I can use the E55 now as diskless server (!), SCSI is not working yet. But as I mentioned, I hope this will change very soon !!

Just how limited is this shell? Are you just not able to see any output? What happens when you run '/bin/ls'?
If you can get stdout, try 'which dd' and 'find / -type f -name dd -print' to locate the program. I don't have an HP/UX box in front of me either, or I would just tell you where dd lived. =)
