Hi
	I am developing a scsi disk exerciser and I am blocked on a strange
problem with the raw interface. When I use the block device /dev/sda
directly I am able to read and write from the disk properly. But when I use
the raw interface I get garbage. For instance please look at the output
below. I am reading the 1st sector of the disk, which is the boot sector,
When I use the block device /dev/sda I get my expected output, whereas when
I use the raw interface I get garbage. Can any one explain? The machine I am
using is an L Class. 

I have attached the start up (boot up) screen dump at the end of the mail
