I am using the command dasdfmt -b 4096 -y -f /dev/dasda to attempt to format the DASD. I have 151-155 3390 disk attached as MDISK. 151 is 100 cylinders to be used as the /boot. The other 4 are mod2 MDISK 152 3390 0001 2225. I get several error messages when attempting this, but the really odd thing is that the last DASD is OK and I can format it and partition it also. So what's the difference? Well I had Suse 8 installed once on them except for DASDE, 155. I have tried everything except doing a ICKDSF CP format. Is this what is needed?
dasdfmt -b 4096 -y -f /dev/dasda " dasdfmt: Unable to open device /dev/dasda: No such device" dasdfmt -b 4096 -y -f /dev/dasdb" dasdfmt: Unsupported disk type" /dev/dasdb is not an ECKD disk!"
