The first part of the proposed fix is indeed bogus. I had a look again this
morning. That is why I said "proposed" in the mail...

The problem is that you can't create a disklabel on a 'fresh' SCSI disk (using
the default label supplied by the driver) and be able to newfs anything
other that the 'd' partition.

Here are the steps:
	disklabel -W sd2
	disklabel -e -r sd2
	[ Add a few partitions ]
	newfs /dev/rsd2a
	[ fails from ENXIO in sdopen ]
