Well, it is a pmax problem if you having problems running a command on a
pmax :-)

The problem is that scsictl using the MI SCSI layer, and 1.4.1 on the
pmax (or even -current) doesn't support MI SCSI yet.

Prehaps the easiest short-term solution is that if the block is in a
known file is to move that file somewhere safe and make it mode 000.

Another option is to try Tohru Nishimura's test MI SCSI kernel at
ftp.aist-nara.ac.jp:~ftp/pub/personal/nisimura/newasc.tgz.  This isn't
production code yet though...

Yet another option is to put the disk on a box with MI scsi (ie, just
about every other architecture that NetBSD supports) and use scsictl on
that box.
