>Description:
	
I have two SCSI devices on my system: a quantum 500M drive (ID 0), and
a ZIP disk (ID 5). When I attempted to use hfsutils (a userland
program) to mount the hfs volume on the zip drive, I invoked it as
'hmount /dev/sd1d'.  This caused the machine to go boom with the
message 'panic: getblk: block size invariant failed'.
(unfortunately, the corefile wasn't saved, due to lack of space)

>How-To-Repeat:
	
I suspect that putting in any zip disk and attempting to access
/dev/sd1d will panic the machine. I've not tested this yet, though.
