gee, that's nice to know.  Brian, search the -current lists about
this, there was/is some confusion in the driver about LBA.  Basically,
LBA would work at ALL times for the disk, except during a crash
dump where it would use those addresses as CHS or something and
cream one of my partitions.  This lovely affected 2 seperate machines.
