Have done the fdasd command?

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/21/2006 10:20:13 AM >>>
I am attempting to install CentOS (Red Hat) v4.2 in a zSeries LPAR
(standalone).  I IPLed the CD-ROM and I am at the point of havint to
format the DASD.  I entered:

 

Dasdfmt -b 4096 -d cdl -f /dev/dasda

 

It comes back with a message that the file is not available.  When I
look in the /dev directory there is no dasda, although in looking in
/sys I can find the file that describes the disk drive as well as the
file that shows it online.

 

Where does CentOS put the device descriptor and how do I address it in
the 'dasdfmt' command?
