If your Tekram uses sym(4), it must be a DC-390U, DC-390F, DC-390U2B,
DC-390U2W, DC-390U3W or DC-390U3D. (The U4 use mpt AFAIK. Never tried those.)

Check out the sformat port or the Tekram's BIOS for a low level format
(voiding all data on the drives).

I don't know if the Tekram BIOS will correct the layout, sformat should
be able to.

You might also succeed in hacking mode pages with camcontrol, but I
don't know the pages and settings to fiddle off-hand, so some
higher-level tool would be my recommendation at the moment.
