Unix Administrators:

As I have mentioned in the past, I am new at Unix Admin.
but I am supposed to upgrade our DEC 3000/400 from
DU 2.0 to 4.0A. As I prepare for this I have been
trying to plan for disk space to do a custom installation.
Part of this was to run -- disklabel -- with no flags, so
that I could see the partitions on our two disks. When
I ran -- disklabel rz2 -- I got back the requested information
but when I ran --- disklabel rz3 --- all that I got was
the following message:

  "Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)"

My question is -- will this be a problem when I upgrade?
And if so what do I need to do?
I did learn that about 3 months ago one of the disks on
our machine crashed and was replaced but I don't know
if it was the same disk.

Thanks in advance!!
