I tried to install 1.6.2 on my macppc box (eMac), but I'm unable to run 
disklabel and newfs on the 1.6.2 install disk. I follow the detailed 
installation instructions, but when i try to write the disklabel to 
disk I get:

partition> W
Label disk [n]? y
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: Label magic number or checksum is wrong!
(disklabel or kernel is out of date?)
Label not written

Same story with newfs:

newfs: ioctl (WDINFO) Invalid argument
newfs: /dev/wd0a: can't rewrite disk label

What's all this about? Am I doing something wrong?
