[Sunhelp] FW: Error messages

[Kevin Stevens]

I'm trying to add an 18GB Western Digital SCSI drive to my SS20.  I touch
/reconfigure, down the machine, add the drive, and boot -r.  It sees the drive
as c0t1d0.

I'm having some problem with the VTOC/label.  When I go into format, it sees the
drive,  identifies it as unlabeled and prompts for labelling.  When I agree, it
produces errors similar to those below.  If I go ahead and format, I get exactly
the errors below.  Otherwise the drive is identified and seems to operate
correctly.  Defect list has zero growth.

This machine did have a c0t1d0 in it before.  The drive is used, but supposedly
good.

Suggestions?
