Hello,

a few ago I bought three used Fujutsi 18GB SCSI disk on eBay for my
ULTRA60. When I tried to install NetBSD on them yesterday I discovered
a problem unfortunately:

sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <FUJITSU, MAA3182SCX, 2411> disk fixed
sd0: 17581 MB, 9041 cyl, 19 head, 207 sec, 516 bytes/sect x 35728250 sectors
                                           ^^^
It appears that they have previously been used in some kind of storage array
which keeps a checksum which each data block. Because NetBSD can not handle
that blocksize I'm trying to low level format the disks with "scsictl"
which doesn't work unfortunately:

# scsictl sd0 format 512
sd0: no disk label
sd0(esiop0:0:0:0): unhandled message 0x23
/dev/rsd0c: Check Condition on CDB: 1a 00 03 00 23 00
    SENSE KEY: Aborted Command
     ASC/ASCQ: Message Error

 Additional Sense Information (byte 18 out...):

        18: 0x00 0x1a 0x00 0x24 0x00 0x11
        24: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01

# scsictl sd1 format 512
sd1: no disk label
sd1(esiop0:0:1:0): unhandled message 0x23
/dev/rsd1c: Check Condition on CDB: 1a 00 03 00 23 00
    SENSE KEY: Aborted Command
     ASC/ASCQ: Message Error

 Additional Sense Information (byte 18 out...):

        18: 0x00 0x1a 0x00 0x24 0x00 0x11
        24: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01

Any ideas?

	Kind regards
