This isn't a SCSI problem.  One known bug in sysinstall is if it changes
the partition type (vs. deleting and adding the partition), it won't write
the disklabel.  There is a patch for this in the pr database.

Describe how you are partitioning and labeling the disk on
freebsd-questions if you have further trouble.
