I've just got the new SCSI drive going by writing my own disktab - sysinstall
instantly panic'ed whenever I tried using it to do this..

anyway, when doing newfs I get:

newfs: /dev/sd0a: not a character-special device
Warning: calculated sectors per cylinder (4096) disagrees with disk label 
(1440)
Warning: 3606 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated


is this something to worry about?  I seem to remember getting a simliar
error when adding a second IDE drive..
