I am running 3.0-RELEASE and cannot get the LS-120 driver to
work for me.  I cannot put a BSD filesystem on the drive, even
tho I am following the manpages.  This is a dual-boot machine,
and the drive does seem to work OK with Win98, but I can't get
it to do much of anything for me under FreeBSD.

The LS-120 drive is configured as the master on the second
IDE controller.  

Here is a script, with comments, of what I am trying to do:

takakazu# 

The state of the filesystems, to show that we haven't maxed-out
anything:

takakazu# df -k
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s2a     79359    17460    55551    24%    /

/dev/wd0s2f    127023       13   116849     0%    /home

procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc
takakazu# 

Now let's try the commands from the man pages:

takakazu# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/wfd0 count=16
dd: /dev/wfd0: Input/output error
takakazu# 
takakazu# disklabel -rw wfd0 fd120m
disklabel: /dev/rwfd0c: Input/output error
takakazu# 

This next command is incorrect in the man page. It says "rfd0a" there,
but that doesn't make sense.  I used rwfd0a instead.

takakazu# 
takakazu# newfs /dev/rwfd0a
newfs: /dev/rwfd0a: Input/output error
takakazu# 
takakazu# exit
takakazu# exit
