What's this supposed to be?

  | 16 partitions:
  | #        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  |  a: 976773167         1     4.2BSD   4096 32768     0  # (Cyl.      0*- 1033622*)
  |  c: 976773167         1     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0*- 1033622*)
  |  d: 976773168         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 - 1033622*)

I am fairly sure that you need to allow more than 1 block for the 2nd stage
boot loader to fit.   Your other disc used the common, but meaningless, 63
as the start offset for a & c partitions.   Better (though it might not matter
on those drives) would be a power of 2 (or at least, a multiple of 8).  32
should work fine.   

Note: it is probably the MBR label that needs fixing most, with a sane MBR
partition scheme, even with just one partition, the disklabel ought to
default correctly ... though you will need to redo it.
