Ok, I have "difficult" SCSI devices then. :-)

I don't remember exactly. When I configured the disk with just one head it
said that there was a difference between blocks per track and "heads * cyls
 * ... something".
When I configured the disk with several heads (but a very different number of
cylinders than the disk actually has) it complained about that layout too, and
refused to make a fs on any partition on it.

Important! All the different layouts that I tried are correct, in that they
add up to the actual (or less) number of blocks that the disk has.
And naturally, AmigaDOS didn't have any problems with thos layouts.
