Hi all...
I am having a problem mounting a SCSI MO Drive in SunOS / HPUX, I can see the drive from a scsi probe, but can't get itr working...
My Unix knowledge is sketchy...
can anyone give me a step by step guide ?

As soon as you plug the device in (on "id5" usually) and powered up the Sparc (Sun OS)
the following came up....
scsi0 : Sparc ESP100A-FAST
scsi : 1 host.
Vendor: SAMSUNG Model: WN32162U Rev: 0100
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0

Partition check:
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8
sdb:scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0, absolute sector 0 unable to read partition table
edit fstab, and add the highlited entry for the drive \(on sdb\)
==========
/etc/fstab
==========
/dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos noauto,user 0 0
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
/dev/sdb /mnt/optical ext2 noauto,rw,user 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
Then mkfs'ed a blank disc as follows...
[root@localhost root]\# /sbin/mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdb
You will recieve something similar like this..
mke2fs 1.10, 24-Apr-97 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 /dev/sdb is entire
device, not just one partition! Proceed anyway? (y,n) y

reboot..
mounted the drive...
since you edited the fstab, add the following mount-point...
/dev/sdb /mnt/dostical msdos noauto,rw,user 0 0
you can now mount ext2 or dos formatted optical carts by mounting either optical or dostical.
Post back if that doesnt help.
