Does it work if you dd from the rx33 instead of to it? Can you read the
entire disk doing that?
I vaguely remember making a minor modification somewhere in the kernel
source and rebuilding it when I wanted to dd an image to an entire disk.
There is some code somewhere that appeared to want to prevent write access
to the disklabel area. I'll have to see if I can find the details of what I
did there.
