Sector $5A0=1440 sectors=a 40T ds disk.  Your /d0 thinks its bigger than 
that for some reason.  What does "dmode /d0" return?

Hmm, now I am finding DW isn't working, can't find the rxtx libraries.  I 
did have it working, but my customizations must have become moot in an 
upgrade since pclos is a rolling update release.  Asking for advice on that 
forum.
