Step rate on 2nd hard drive (UNIX-PC)?

Sigh.  I had forgotten that iv cann't be used to change the VHB
on a drive with >1024 cylinders.  Is there another (easy) way
to change the step-rate on such a drive?  Will the extended
diagnostics let me do it without munging the existing file
system?

I suppose I could open /dev/rfp010 and read in the VHB myself,
but I don't have a layout of the VHB.  (Since the step-rate
change only takes effect on reboots, this would work, wouldn't it?)
