If you see an IO error at this point then it is likely that
you are not able to create any filesystems on that disk.
divvy: could not write new divvy table: I/O error
This could be, for example, because the disk being used
already had an operating system on it and the master boot
record (mbr) ; superblock table needs overwriting with
either a low level format or as root on the OSR6 box run
the "dd" command on to the disk2 (/dev/rhd10):
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rhd10
After 10 seconds, interrupt this by hitting the <Del> key.
With this command, we have deleted any traces of Partition
table on the first sector on the disk.
This disk will now present itself to the OS as a new
formatted disk. If you are still experiencing problems then
it is possible that the disk may be faulty.

TS(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual TS(4)
NAME
ts - TS-11 magtape interface
SYNOPSIS
/sys/conf/SYSTEM:
NTS ts_drives # TS11
/etc/dtab:
#Name Unit# Addr Vector Br Handler(s) # Comments
ts ? 172520 224 5 tsintr # ts11 driver
major device number(s):
raw: 8
block: 2
minor device encoding:
bits 0003 specify TS drive
bit 0004 specifies no-rewind operation
bit 0010 ignored
DESCRIPTION
The ts-11 combination provides a standard tape drive interface as described in mtio(4). The ts-11 operates only at 1600 bpi, and only one
transport is possible per controller.
FILES
/dev/MAKEDEV script to create special files
/dev/MAKEDEV.local script to localize special files
SEE ALSO
mt(1), tar(1), tp(1), mtio(4), ht(4), tm(4), dtab(5), autoconfig(8)
DIAGNOSTICS
ts%d: no write ring. An attempt was made to write on the tape drive when no write ring was present; this message is written on the termi-
nal of the user who tried to access the tape.
ts%d: not online. An attempt was made to access the tape while it was offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user who
tried to access the tape.
ts%d: hard error bn%d xs0=%b xs1=%b xs2=%b xs3=%b. A hard error occurred on the tape at block bn; status registers 0-3 are printed in
octal and symbolically decoded as bits.
ts%d: addr mod 4 != 0. The address of a TS-11 command packet was not on an even longword boundary.
BUGS
If any non-data error is encountered on non-raw tape, it refuses to do anything more until closed.
The device lives at the same address as a tm-11 tm(4).
