Thanks to everyone that tried to help me with this problem, especially Tony
McElhill, Ivan Hoe, Peter Stern and alan_at_nabeth.

Problem was: how to connect an external SCSI - HD (Seagate ST 32430 N) to
the internal SCSI Controller of a DEC Alpha 1000 4/256 and to configure it
for use with AdvFS.

Solution from Peter Stern prooved to be successful AFTER zeroing the
disklabel with disklabel -z /dev/rrz0a:
*****************************************************************************
First of all, you don't need a disktab entry for a SCSI disk in V4.0x
since the disklabel command reads the information from the disk. It
would be enough to do:
disklabel -rw rz0 scsi

Second, the mkfdmn command will create a domain an mark the partition as
AdvFS:
mkfdmn /dev/rz0c mp_domain

Finally, if for some reason you want to set the partition as AdvFS
before makeing the file domain, use the form:
disklabel -s rz0c AdvFS
