Write down the serial numbers on your drives.  Then do the following
for all "good" drives (the bad one might hang).  You can recognize
the good ones because format shows the SCSI targets in the initial
disk selection prompt.

Procedure:

- Run "format -e" as root.

- Select the first "good" disk.

- Type "scsi" to get into the mode pages menu (don't worry about the
  warning, you won't do anything to the disks).

- Type "inq" to see the raw inquiry string returned by the disk.
  Somewhere in there is the serial number as an ASCII string.

- Type "q" to get back to the main menu.

- Type "disk" to select the next disk.


This way, you can match serial numbers and "good" disks.  The one
left will be the bad one.
