Release Notes

1. Installing to Systems That Use the KFQSA Disk Controller
If your system has more than one disk drive on a KFQSA controller, you should edit the

system configuration file during installation of the operating system.
Select the ADVANCED installation option during installation, and when the system asks you
whether you want to edit the configuration file, type y.
The following disk entry is correct, but you must edit all others:
disk

raO

uqO

drive 0

Do the following:
1.

Delete all but one disk entry for each controller uq? entry.

Change the ra number.
Make the ra numbers sequential. The ra entry in the configuration file corresponds to
the special device file name in the /dev directory which is used to access the disk.

Change the drive number.
The drive number must be the same as the unit plug on the front panel of the system
used to identify the drive.
If your system does not have a front panel, the drive number should match the unit
number switch settings on the drive itself. If you are uncertain what the correct drive

numbers are, contact your Field Service Representative.
The following example represents the relevant portion of a configuration file before and after
it was edited during the installation. The system in this example has three drives with unit
plugs 0, 1, 3.

The incorrect portion of the configuration file looks like this:

Note that only the disk entries must be edited and that the numbers used in this example may
not correspond to those on your system.
If you do not do an ADVAN CED installation, and your system has more than one disk drive

on the KFQSA, the configuration file generated during the installation will be incorrect.
must edit the configuration file and rebuild your kernel after installation is complete.

2. /etc/disktab File Entry Must Be Corrected for RF71 Disks
The entry in the /etc/disktab file that defines the number of blocks, the file system's block,
and the block fragment sizes on the C partition of RF71 disks is incorrect.
Line 300 of /etc/disktab reads:
:pc#781440:#8192:fc#l024:\

You should edit it to read as follows before putting a file system on the C partition of any
RF71 disk:
:pc#781440:bc#8192:fc#1024:\
