I don't have the spec right here. I think it amounts to (with the
FreeBSD utility)
scsi -f /dev/rsd0.ctl -e 3 -P 3 # Manually edit the format
# device page to set sector size.
scsi -f /dev/rsd0.ctl -c "4 0 0 0 0 0" # Format.
"-P 3" select parameter set 3, the permanent ones.
Careful readers will note that this interface really *sucks*, and it's
very easy to do something completely different than you intended.
