System: NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (INSTALL) #0: Thu Mar  1 05:19:13 PST 2007 builds@wb33:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-4/i386/200703010002Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-4/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/INSTALL

>Description:
During sysinst install for a Dell PowerEdge 2450 with aac0, I cannot install
on any of the ld* devices because the ioctl fdisk: DIOCGDEFLABEL isn't working,
with the message "Inappropriate ioctl for device". fdisk will throw
"fdisk: DIOCGDEFLABEL: Inappropriate ioctl for device", and sysinst says
"no disks".

I've confirmed that 3.1 will install correctly, so there is a code regression
between 3.1 and 4.0. I have installed 4.0 Beta 2 on this system with the
RAID controller disabled, so I can confirm that there are no hardware
issues.

relevant dmesg output:
aac0 at pci1 dev 2 function 1: Dell PERC 3/Si
