hdtoolbox sees the disk, but how would I store the information in nvram from
hdtoolbox? When it says disk changed, I save the changes to the disk, but
that does not help. Maybe I need another version of hdtoolbox?

Linux works beautifully on the disk:

Identical disks, (nearly?) identical partitions, work beautifully in my A2k
and in Linux also on A3k and A4k.
