Does anyone have a disktab entry for a Seagate ST1480N SCSI disk that they
know works?  I'd love to have one to compare to the one I hacked up, since
I've never done this before.

Now, I've ALMOST got everything working smoothly.  Except I'm getting:

sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic
dumped to the console after a newfs or a mount.
(er... no magic what?)

As per advice on the freebsd newsgroup, courtesy dejanews, I tried:

disklabel -B sd1

But this makes my disk label becomes unfindable ?!?!?!?!?!  Suddenly mount
and newfs refuse to admit my disk exists. /-:

Suggestions?

                                  -A.
