Well, I *thought* I was following the directions...
I added the drive to the system (sd1 seems just fine), booted the
system, and did an "fdisk -i /dev/rsd1" (from FreeBSD). I took the
default geometry (4926 cyl, 26 hd, 133 s/t), UNUSED partitions 0, 1, and
2, and then did a "disklabel -e -r sd1". Disklabel doesn't work - it
says the disk is a read-only device (not as far as I can tell).
I tried the fdisk again, and this time the original head and
sector/track values both showed up as 1! I tried to reset them, but
the changes don't "stick".
Any suggestions on how I can get this beast working would be greatly
appreciated. My goal is to turn the drive into two equal-sized
partitions.
Just in case, here's the output from dmesg and fdisk:
