On some UNIX workstations, here Sun systems, a file called FORMAT.DAT must be modified to include an entry describing the drive's geometry.
The FORMAT.DAT file is usually contained in the /etc directory and can be edited using VI or any appropriate text editor. Other systems
require no modifications and will auto-configure the drive.
