	In my case, the Quantum disk probes with:

probe(esp0:3:0): max sync rate 10.00MB/s
sd0 at scsibus0 target 3 lun 0: <QUANTUM, FIREBALL ST4.3S, 0F0C> SCSI2 0/direct
fixed

	But, once the machine was installed (on the 2GB disk) and I 
tried to zero out this disk so that I could re-install (on the 4GB 
disk), I got the following:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0c bs=1024k count=1024
sd0(esp0:3:0): esp0: timed out [ecb 0xf032d0d0 (flags 0x3, dleft 
10000, stat 0)]

	I doubt that there is any way to save this disk.  However, 
this does not explain why I still have SILO showing up on the other 
disk, and why this wasn't replaced with the NetBSD bootloader.
