SUMMARY: Can't use disklabel on RZ28

The problem: I had an RZ28 with a partition table that
didn't assign sector 0 to any partitions. disklabel(8)
wouldn't touch it.

The solution: use scu(8) to access the disk directly:

 # scu -f /dev/rrz2a
 scu> write media starting 0 ending 3

This corrupted the disklabel and allowed me to relabel/repartion
the drive.

Thanks to:

Bob Parkinson
Wendy Fong
Alan Rollow (who correctly diagnosed the cause and suggested scu)
