Could you post details on how you're partitioning the drive? I have a
hunch that perhaps you are trying to use the "raw" partition (sd0c) as a
regular partition. The output of "disklabel sd0" from within the miniroot
environment will be fine.

Assuming you're using sysinst, could you also post the geometry reported
by the kernel when the scsi disk is attached, and the geometry reported by
sysinst?
