Dear ZIP users,
I have a SCSI IoMega ZIP drive. I am trying to put a file system on it and
am having trouble.
I have an NCR SCSI controller which sees the ZIP and gives the standard
error that everyone is getting and which I am not worrying about. The
identification string says IOMEGA ZIP 100 D.08. I formatted the disk in
WIN95 and booted FreeBSD 3.0-970118-SNAP. Ran FDISK and changed the sysid
to 165.
I have a disktab entry of:
zip100|Iomega Zip 100: \
:ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#96:rm#3600:\
:pa#196576:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:ta=4.2BSD: \
:pc#196576:oc#0:
I do a:
disklabel -w -r /dev/sd0s4 zip100
^^<-- this is from fdisk
So far so good. Then I try a:
newfs -Tzip100 /dev/sd0s4
and it gets to writing the super-block backup areas and the computer freezes
hard. I cant switch to another virtual console or ctrl-c or anything so I
have to hit the reset button. Can anyone help me or tell me what I am doing
wrong.
