When I attempt to label my second drive I get an error  
"Bootstrap doesn't leave room for label."

I am using the following entry in /etc/disktab:


q#  WD2340AB
#
#  Partition  Cyl		Use
#  a          0-959	File system
#  b          960-1009	Swap
#  c	      0-1009    Alternate mapping (whole disk)

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
