Setting up a HD for a IIgs



   I've been running into some problems getting a HD set up for my ROM 1 
IIgs with a Rev C SCSI card. I can go ahead and get it formatted and 
install stuff on it, but I'd like to get all the Mac partition info off 
of it, and avoid the errors that come up saying it can't mount the 
partition.
   I'm working with an old 40 meg drive (I've actually tried two - one 
Apple ROM-ed, and one that isn't). If I fire up the Advanced Disk 
Utility to erase it, I can erase the disk, but when I try and partition 
it, after I set up the partitions, it gives me an error that it can't 
partition the drive. I tried setting the 32 meg partition first and 
last, to no avail.
   I also hooked the drive up to a Mac and tried to set up the partition 
map with SilverLining. I was able to set that up correctly, but then I 
couldn't boot from the disk (I'd been able to boot from it before I ran 
it through SilverLining). If I'm remembering correctly, I couldn't even 
erase it via the ADU after that.

   Can anyone give me some tips about what I may be missing here? All my 
SCSI voodoo knowledge was gained on Macs, so I'm a bit out of my 
environment here. I looked at the CSA2 FAQs and didn't find any info 
that really related to this.

   Thanks.
