Hi 
I am having a problem disklabling SCSI disks on my 1.3 system. Here is
the dmesg

--------
So, it does see my disk fine. (BTW, i can format and see the drive in both
linux and dos)

However, i am unable to write a disklabel to the drive. I get constant
complaints that sd0: no disk label.

What would possibly be the problem? The installer had no problem
with the IDE drive. Is this a SCSI problem?

On a similar SCSI note, a tape written with TAR on HPUX and LINUX fails to be
read on this system.

mallow# tar -tvf /dev/st0

Any correlation?
