Search thru mailing archives was useless :( Can someone, who
currently uses the od-s tell how to create filesystem on such
a drive. Please? The drive is already recognizeable, etc. I
even can 
	disklabel -Brw od0 auto
it (sometimes). Running
	newfs /dev/rod0s1a
lead to lots of SCSI errors, SCSI-bus reset :( Bad hardware?
Some kernel/scsi options to tune? Am I doing it wrong from the
beginning?

	Thanks a lot!
	(Running August snapshot, on EISA P90. AIC-7770, dual bus,
	Drive reports itself as MATSHITA LF-something)
