Okay, from Peter's suggestion, I've scsiformat'd the drive, which seems to
get around the errors I was getting with disklabel, and I've finally got that
drive up and running...but...

When I tried to install, it newfs'd 3 partitions, then got the above error
on the 4th (you could hear the drive powerdown) and then when it went to 
the 5th, you could hear it power up again, and it newfs'd it and the 6th
properly again.

Now, this is meant to be my new root drive on ki.net, but I'm nervous about
putting it in there.  I have it running right now on the 386, and I manually
newfs'd /dev/sd0s1h after the machine came up "live", but the "power down"
problem really has me worried.

The drive is:

(aha0:0:0): "CONNER CFP1060S 1.05GB 243F" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(aha0:0:0): Direct-Access 1013MB (2074880 512 byte sectors)

	Are there any known problems with this drive?  Anything I should
have jumpered that isn't?  Settings on the controller that I've missed?

	The Controller is terminated, the drive is terminated, its a 230Watt
power supply with only that drive and a 3.5" floppy running off of it, so
I don't *think* its a power supply or termination proplem, and the cable
has connectors for two drives on it and is short.

	Recommendations?
