Steve,

It's a SCSI. Here's how I solved mine, Although it did the trick, but
due to the nature, approach with care. AND DO NOT MKFS !!!

1.) Make sure that it is really due to bad table, ie. cyclinder 1-10
assigned as 2 and 11-20 assigned as 1, not just because all data just
happened to store at the back,
2.) Have a print out of the partition table from fdisk,
3.) Using fdisk, delete all partitions and reenter with the correct
entries...
4.) DO NOT FORMART, MKFS AND REBOOT,
5.) that's it.

Though I'm still interested in as to what cause it...
