This reminds me that someone with a thick skin/mailbox should remove the existing zip100 and mo230 entries in src/etc/etc.i386/disktab. The zip100 entry is pointless because it only works in cases where `auto' would work, i.e., for whole disks that don't have have Iomega's default partitioning (you have to clear the partition table to use this entry). The mo230 entry is pointless because it only works for Jim's default partitioning (you probably have to change the partition table to use this entry). `auto' is pointless for similar reasons. Bruce
