Oops! Mistake! Sorry!
I checked my notes last night and that was the bit that did
not work. Instead I used SCSITools from Phase5, the HD tool
that came with the 2060. If you try to use the original 3.1
HDToolbox on more than 4G it will most likely crash as soon
as you try and adjust partition size since it has meaningless
values to work with.
I used my rebuild floppy, made up of the most recent bits and
pieces from Phase5. Since my implementation is partly a
script in the startup sequence I missed the fact it was not
C= HDToolbox! I try and automate as much as possible so as
to bypass my own flakey memory...
SCSITools 1.30 recognises the big drive and expects you to
limit usage to 4G if you are just using FFS (and no TD64).
Make sure you put 2060scsi.device in the tooltype of 3.5
HDtoolbox, or continue to use SCSItools.
Please accept my apologies for the misleading info.
Getting old... now, what was it I needed to do next...
