Yah... your disklabel ought to have a "c" partition which represents
the entire disk.  This is actually farily important...

...and, looking at sdstrategy(), I think there's a bug here that I want
to fix... Basically, the MI sd driver doesn't do partition translation
iff the partition is RAW_PART (i.e. "c").  Unfortunately, the hp300
doesn't use the MI SCSI code (yet) ... and it looks like we _always_ do
partition translation... so, if you get a screwey offset/size for the "c"
partition, you could really lose, not being able to write a new disklabel.

I suppose I ought to fix that...

In the mean time, you should be able to get SYS_INST to zap the disklabel
for you, so you can write a "c" partition.
