OK, After must trial and deliberation, I give in:-( Can you please help with the following.. System:- FreeBSD 2.1, running on Pentium PC, 850Mb IDE HD(drive 0), 32Mb RAM, Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM, SyQuest EZ135 (drive 1), Rebuilt kernel for IDE devices and 2 x DE435 Ether cards, Dec DE435 PCI Ether cards (de0 de1). Problem 1 - On install the system reports the EZ135 as being 270Mb, rather than 135Mb, it reports 1024 cyl rather than 512. I have overcome this by manual intervention, but is there a proper work around?? Problem 2 - How do I format and initialise a new EZ135 cartridge from the root CLI?? I have tried various things, but to no avail. Is there a defined type or devices entry for an EZ135?? Thanks in advance Andy
