Hi, all
Tried to create a mirror hard drive using an Ultra 60 or Foxboro AW51E
style GA box, it came up with an error message of "invalid partition
table" after executed dft create_sys command.

Any comments will be highly appreciated.

Some background information:
-       the system is running V 6.5.2
-       check helpful hints, it indicated some dft scripts issue for
version 6.2 or older, not sure if this is the same issue. 
-       using an external hard drive as the mirror disc
-       run dft format_disk ESP1 SCSI0 with message of operation
succeeded, (Foxboro literature states, run dft format_disk ESP2 SCSI0 on
Ultra 60 box or AW51E but was not successful)
-       executed dft create_sys, invalid partition message came up. 
-       check partition tables for both hard disc, both are identical as
below:
