As Corey Adam suggested, verify that it is partitioned.  (see below)

The command is 'disklabel' - and be warned that the sun3 needs some
translations done by the kernel for bootable disks,  so you must not
use any of the options that cause disklabel to use "raw" access.
(do not use the -r flag on Sun machines)  Just do:

	disklabel -e /dev/rsd0c		(or other *c device)

I have a new, simpiler replacment for disklabel (called edlabel)
that looks pretty much like the "partition" command in the old
SunOS format program.  This is what the install tape will use.
