Well, the first error messages stopped you getting the second.  Since
you are getting this value, I'm assuming you haven't labelled the disk
at all yet.  I have some draft documentation (in PostScript) which
might help.

Hmm, maybe you have a labelled disk after all.  If you send me a copy
of your disktab and the output of fdisk /dev/rsdx, I'd be interested
in looking at it.
