I'm trying to set up a Zip drive.  I consulted the following bit of mail 
that I received a while ago and saved for such an occasion:

So I grabbed a disktab entry from below:

And then I tried the following procedure:

But I got this result:

/home/ben# disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1s4 zip100
disklabel: /dev/sd1s4: Device not configured

Undaunted (ok, maybe a little daunted), I tried the following:

But: 

/home/ben# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1 count=2
dd: /dev/rsd1: Device not configured

Clearly I'm missing something pretty basic.  I tried cd'ing to /dev and 
running "./MAKEDEV sd1", to no avail.

If some kind soul could tell me what step I've neglected, I'd be most 
grateful.
