I am too. What I did was 1) boot using SYS_INST and I zapped the disklabel, then I netbooted with SYS_UBOOT and a 1.4.2 GENERIC kernel taken from kern.tgz; With a minimal netbooting setup I got to single user where I ran disklabel -e, which gave me what you see there.

Yep, I assumed that the kernel would find this out; I'll swing along to Seagate's site (it's a ST11200N, 1Gig Sun Firmware...)

I'll scope it a bit more and see what I can find...
