Yeah, I saw Greg's note on this when I had previously searched the
archive, but wasn't sure if this was fixed in his latest (4 Mar 1999) update.

I just did this, and managed to actually get it to put a filesystem
on /dev/da1s1e, which I presume I can then go in and blow away with
`disklabel -er`. That took a little while to do just one disk, so this
is going to be a somewhat long and laborious task. However, I suspect
that you've given me just the information I needed, and I'll let you know
if I have any further problems.

Cool!

Whoops! Sorry, must have somehow missed that rule when I was going
through the archives and subscribing to the lists, etc.... Sorry about that!
