You probably need to have a disk which has SGI volume header - it's
like a small partition where you could put some files and which PROM
knows how to deal with. On Irix you can use fx to label the disk - I
don't know what is used for that purpose by BSD folks. Or it could be
that you have run out of space on that volume header - it's not very
big. If you still have running Irix you can use dvhtool to examine the
state of the volume header.
