Well, I was playing with the disklabel this afternoon and found that
the disk formats OK up to a certain limit but doesn't go beyond it:
no matter how I devide it in partitions, the partition that goes from
cylinder number X trough the last one does not accept newfs.

I could not find the exact value of X (I had to leave the lab), but it
is somewhere around 1.3Gb of total formatted space.  Some people here have
disks of more than 4Gb without problems.  I think I should buy a new
terminator.

Is a terminator expensive or hard to be found?  I really never worried
about SCSI before.
