Somehow my disklabel on my scsi drive has become corrupted.
I made a new disktab and used a floppy to relabel, but it seems
disklabel ignored the fact that it was labeling a drive with DOS
partitions, even though i answered yes when it asked me. Any
suggestions? I see to remember there may be a bug in disklabel with
regard to DOS partitions, but it got it on there the first time, so this
is confusing...
