| Issue |
We're trying to install a second SCSI Winchester drive and are getting some strange behaviors. The first SCSI drive (target ID 0) is an 80MB Quantum PRO 80. We've mounted the second drive, a 300MB Maxtor 4380S, like this:
mount disk 4 d=3 p=2
It mounts okay, but the mount command then shows it as being the same size as my 80MB PRO 80. What are we doing wrong?

| Solution |
A couple of additional steps are necessary. Since no particular partition to mount was specified, the parameters of the first drive were inhereted. Simply follow these two addional steps:
1.x09Create a partition on the drive with the command:
x09fdisk 4
2.x09Remount the drive as follows:
x09mount disk 4 d=3 p=2 pa=qnx
x09The mount command should now display the correct size for the partition.
