[Sunhelp] External SCSI drives.

Hey, I have a problem.  I came into 4 external SCSI SE, NCR, Hewlett Crappard 
drives, they're either 1 or 2 Gig each.  I hooked them up to my SCSI chain on 
my SS2, and got a funny message on boot.  It said wrong magic number, and 
said that they had corrupt labels.  I probed them at the OK prompt and it 
found them, but when I went into a shell and tried to format them, they 
weren't there.  How do I fix this?  Or can I?  I also hooked them up to my 
Sparcbook, and it just discombobulated everything, so I said screw that, the 
Sbus SCSI controller on the SS2 seems to like them better anyway.  It happens 
no matter what ID I have them set to as well.

Thanks,
Jeff
