Due to limitations in the number of logical blocks that can be
addressed (partition size limit) and in the format and scsi driver
program, you have a couple of limitations.
On Sun 3 architectures the maximum partition size is about 669 MB; 
the biggest drive that you can connect to the machines is about 1 GB
(formatted capacity). So you should be ok if you use a 1.2 GB drive - it
formats to about 1.07 GB. Make your partitions smaller than 660 MB and
you are not likely to run into problems there, either.

There are a couple of bug fixes fort this, but I do not know whether
they are available for Sun 3 architectures.

Regards
Thomas
