I am trying to install a second SCSI device on my machine.  It is reconized
as sd1 on bootup.  I can 'disklabel -w' it and mount and use the paritions
I set up.  I can not 'disklabel -w -r' it, I just get a message that 
Bootstrap does not leave room for disk label.  

So when I turn the machine off it does not reconized and I have to disklabel
it again.  I suppose I could add the commands to do the to the /etc/rc file
but somehow it does not seem like what I should do.

So how do I make bootstrap leave room for a disk lable?  This is not the
boot drive.
