Thats right.. I already forgot our humble beginnings with the ramdisk installation! The one thing that does apply is the default assignment of devices starting with dasda, dasdb, etc. to the defined VM DASDs from low to high address order. This feature affects how you add DASD or split file systems in the future, especially if you want to stick new DASD addresses below those already defined.

He won't have to this unless he changes his configuration in the future.

Your DASD address ranges have to go in there. Then you run zipl to activate it. After that (you may have to reboot), your disks will show up in /proc/dasd/devices, which shows the correlation of DASDs and Linux devices, i.e. 200 = dasda , 201 = dasdb , etc. Ray Mrohs Energy Information Administration U.S. Department of Energy -----Original Message----- From: John Kaba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 4:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DASD configuration for SuSE SLES 8 Hello again, I now have the network configured, and can get to my installation media. Now I am ready to format my DASD. The installation manual refers me to the dasdfmt command in the Device Drivers and Installation Commands document, which I am currently looking at, however the examples don't really show me how this all relates to the minidisks that I have set up on my LINUX guest ID on VM, and it doesn't give any recommendations other than to format with a blocksize of 4KB. I am just wanting to set up Linux so that I can run SSL. I have defined 3 minidisks as per the example in the SuSE Installation manual with mdisk 201 defined as the home disk, mdisk 150 with 200 cyl. for the swap device, and 151 with 2800 cyl. for the linux installation. Any suggestions/recommendations on how to go about formatting and partitioning these for this installation?
