...yes:

SCSI-2 is essentially a command-level superset of SCSI-1.  There are no
electrical differences.  The NetBSD/hp300 SCSI driver detects SCSI-2
capability, but doesn't use any of its features.  (The primary feature
of interest is disconnect/reselect.)

...no, you don't need a disktab entry.  You can use disklabel(8)
by itself.

...disklabel(8) is always capable of initializing a label.  You can
do:

	disklabel sd3 > sd3-label
	vi sd3-label
	[ make it look how you want ]
	disklabel -r -R sd3 sd3-label

...or you can do:

	disklabel -r -e sd3

This is all documented in the disklabel(8) manual page.

In any case, no damage done with the sd7958 label... just replace
the direct and computed geometry values with ones you get or
derive from the info printed at boot time, and then make the
partition map look how you want it to look.  (Remember, geometry
really has no meaning under SCSI...)
