The write is in variable mode (of all things>. It needs to be in fixed block mode. Do a mt -f /dev/rsa0 blocksize 512. Why it thinks it came up in variable is a mystery to me. This might be a good QUIRK_FIXED candidate (when I check the code in) for this f/w- I think other 525's may in fact support variable (which, IIRC, isn't really variable in that it still has to be modulo 512).
