This always means either a geometry error (99.9% of cases) or a disk
error.
You're using a SCSI disk, so I would guess either:
1) You are using an Adaptec controller, and you have the "extended
translation for disks >1GB" option turned off.
2) There was another operating system installed on this disk, probably
installed on another system/SCSI controller, and sysinstall has become
confused.
