It always says the drive is write protected. > There's numerous errors about mode sense (4), and some other goop. I have an ASUS 486 DX4-100 system, Adaptec 2940, with Jaz. I am booting from a fixed SCSI drive. FreeBSD sees the Jaz drive and can read/write, the only error being a mode sense thing at startup, or such. I think BootEasy can't see past a second hard drive, even if it's visible to the BIOS, 'cause I couldn't boot from the Jaz.
