Small incongruity:  I use dvhtool to read in the volume header,
repartition the thang and rewrite the whole mess back onto the
disk.  It told me it wrote the header onto 15 tracks.

When I read it back it looks like what I wrote.  prtvtoc on the
other hand reads a partition table that looks like what was there
before, even with -l.  Since -l asks the driver, it would appear
that I need to re-acquaint the driver with the drive.  

Is boot the only way?
