--------------------------------

What I did was just Prep the RES3: portion (which did the entire drive -- at
least that's what it sounded like!) and then just reboot the system and format
FS2:

P.S. You might need to change the device number.. I've got my system set to
SCSI Device #2... 

Hope that helps!
