    Some months ago there was a patch posted for some rather bizzare
happenings with the RZ-56 & RZ-57 IIRC. I can only assume that these SCSI
Driver issues were pulled up into 1.5Alpha (or even current). If not that is
likely the root of your problem.

    I wonder if this is part of the prior RZ-56 problem where the SCSI
driver was using reserved space on the disk that it shouldn't be using.

    A Google search at http://www.google.com/bsd might turn something up...
