Is there some trick with the partition tables?  I will "disklabel" a
hp7958B with what I think is the correct information, but then after I
write the information and reboot, the drive has forgotten.

Do I have almost 2 GB of junk sitting on the desk or is there a way to get
HP-IB drives to really work?  Do the partitions need to have a "wrapping
partition"

All I want to do is get the first ~6MB allocated for inst-11.fs, an area
for swap and then the rest of the disk for what ever else.  This will not
be the final configuration.  I just want to get something working.
