Hello,

Sorry for this really old thing, but I'm (re)installing
an old Ultra 1e with brand new 4.5gb disks ;-)

Unfortunately, I can’t remember and even find a good
google-keyword on “how to label/format new disks in
an ultra 1e”
I remember it's been done using the firmware; I just
can’t find the command again..

The firmware banner, if it can helps, shows:
Sun Ultra 1 SBus (UltraSPARC 143MHz)
OpenBoot 3.11, 64 MB memory installed,

Thanks. TM.

Brand new 4.5gb disks, surely you are joking?

No, it is done using the OS with "format".

64MB, that must be the tiniest one ever sold.

Boot Solaris (from CD or net) and then use format.

It was simply that thing I was missing.
