I got my PARISC system going, but I think NS "sees" it as a 1GB disk, even though it's a 2GB Seagate. I'm guessing it's a disktab issue. I'm guessing I have to format an external HD, install NS on that, with a correct disktab entry, and then do a build disk on the internal drive in the PARISC?

sometimes only the second part of the disk isn't mounted automaticly. If the 2Gb hd is a little bigger than 2GB, NeXTstep splitted these drive into two parts. You have to add these drive in your fstab

It worked! I got an additional 890+mb for my /Apps. I really like this PA-RISC machine, much quieter than my Black Slab and a lot faster. I do miss the slab's ADB keyboard tho, it has a nice feel. Thanks Andreas.
