I had asked the following:

>I have two old SCSI disks from some Sun 3/60's and I want to put
>them on one Sun-3/60 running Openwin 3.0 and SunOS-4.1.1.
>
>The disks are 140 MEG - sd0: <Micropolis 1355 cyl 1018 alt 2 hd 8 sec 34>
>

Well, got the disks installed on another Sun.

I used the following help from Joerg.Hertzer@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
and everything worked like a charm

P.S. I also got some settings faxed to me from Bin Zhao. I will
     use them to eventually install the disk on a Sparc1 and make
     use of the 120 meg partitions on the disks.
