The actual geometry of a SCSI disk is irrelevant.  You need only come up with
something having same or fewer blocks.

One way might be to write an absurdly big label (e.g. 4GB disk), then dd to
the disk and write down the block offset when the writes fail due to being
beyond end of medium.  Then figure the label from that.

BTW, if this IBM disk is so nonstandard as to not respond to the geometry
command, don't expect it to work right on NetBSD.
