Below is what I get from following the format instructions. (The stuff inside
**asterisks** is what I entered.)

'backup' command.

Note that the only disk that it identified automatically was disk 5. If I
switched to a different disk, I would get something like this:
######################################################################

Specify disk (enter its number)[0]: **4**
AVAILABLE DRIVE TYPES:
0. DEFAULT
1. other
Specify disk type (enter its number): 0
selecting c3d0
No current partition list
No defect list found
[disk formatted, no defect list found]
No Solaris fdisk partition found.
format> **verify**
WARNING - This disk may be in use by an application that has
modified the fdisk table. Ensure that this disk is
not currently in use before proceeding to use fdisk.

######################################################################
So, the followup questions:
1. Should I be worried about the fact that only one of the disks is understood
by this command?
2. I'm not seeing the 'bytes/sector =' stuff. Am I missing it, or do I need to
attack that another way?
