Securelevel 2 prevents writing to a raw device if the block device is mounted. I hadn't thought of this, but then, fdisk/atactl use of "wd0" gets converted to "/dev/rwd0c". Since there's an MBR on that drive, /dev/wd0c would almost assuredly not be mounted.
Oh, very very good thought! It could indeed be a bad special file.
