I followed your prescription, formatting, then
 "disklabel -r -w sd2 auto"
which yielded several messages:
 
 sd2: invalid primary partition table: no magic
 Sep 16 08:46:42 r2d2 /kernel: sd2: invalid primary partition table: no magic
 Sep 16 08:46:42 r2d2 /kernel: sd2: invalid primary partition table: no magic
 
then "newfs /dev/rsd2c"
which yielded several similar messages:
 
 sd2: invalid primary partition table: no magic
 Sep 16 08:46:42 r2d2 /kernel: sd2: invalid primary partition table: no magic
 Sep 16 08:46:42 r2d2 /kernel: sd2: invalid primary partition table: no magic
 ... and the usual messages describing the number of sectors
 unallocated, superblock placement, etc..
 
when I mount sd2, "mount /dev/sd2c /jaz2", I get the "sd2: invalid
primary partition table: no magic" message triad again.
 
Anyway, it works: I can mount it and pour stuff in.
 
When I boot the system, I have always received the following messages
regarding the jaz drive.
...
(ahc0:2:0): "iomega jaz 1GB H.62" type 0 removable SCSI 2
sd2(ahc0:2:0): Direct-Access
sd2(ahc0:2:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB
sd2 could not mode sense (4). Using fictitious geometry
1021MB (2091050 512 byte sectors)
...
 
Environment: bsd 2.1.5R, adaptec 2940uw, asus xp6np5
 
Are these the same behaviors which you see?
