I'd do this - Hook it up to a running system; Run the "scsiformat" script on it; See if you can label it and do raw I/O to it. If you can't get this far let us know what happens.

I don't see that message - maybe it is coming from the devfs code? Hackers: when we do kernel printfs we should give some sort of identity string that narrows it down to a corner of the kernel. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
