Weird. Looks to me like it things that you drive is write-protected. I've
never seen that option in the PROM on an SS20, only once or twice on a
PeeCee. Never seen a jumper on a drive to do that. Can you post the output
of ok probe-scsi (or ok probe-scsi-all, as appropraite), and perhaps swap to
a console and post the output of 'fdisk -l /scsidrive'. I don't remember
exactly where the device entries are on the installer for RH, but you can
find them if you poke around enough.
