> I have a WD10EARS which lies about its sector size

Some further information: I'm using the sdata driver rather than
sdiahci because my motherboard doesn't support ahci.  This may be why
I'm seeing the disk as having 512-byte sectors not 4096.

You could try telling your BIOS to use the disk in ATA (IDE) mode, and
see if that gives you 512-byte sector emulation.  However I seem to
recall posts from Erik advising that some chipsets have bugs in this
mode which affect Plan 9.
