Has anyone successfully configured the Seagate Barracuda 15150N 4 GB SCSI
hard drive with the BusLogic 946C?  Under DOS, I can see the whole hard
drive with the BTfdisk program, but fdisk for Linux complains that I need
to set the number of heads, and I can't get the DOS fdisk to tell me
how many heads/cyl/sectors it thinks the drive has.  Does anyone have the
correct numbers for this drive?
