The problem I have is I'm getting this error while trying to reformat it.. from sysinstall, disklabel, newfs, and dd.. Any advice on how to re-format this disk that I'm missing? I'm not very experieced with SCSI stuff. BTW, I'm not on the SCSI mailing list, so any replies should be CC'd to me / Thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
