I desperatly need some help making a Maxtor MaxOptix Tahiti 1 drive work
on my SparcServer 4/490. There are some rumors that a bug in sd-driver
prohibits one head disks from working correctly. Is this correct? If so,
how do I get around this?  Hints: running format, unable to label the
disk, unable to store partition table on disk.

Have I got everything wrong???
