You have, indeed, provided a complete, workable solution. I did see your earlier postings, but must have made a mistake when I attempted the procedure. scsiformat -w /dev/sd0 indeed wiped clean the R/O attribute. Using the /stand/sysinstall index entries for partition and for labeling, I have created a single partition successfully, and am now writing a new (1GB!) file system. My sincere thanks. My jazz drive was beginning to collect dust; I had thought it might become simply an artifact of incompatability! Best regards -- Larry S.
