I don't know if anyone had already know my problem... I attempt to install
NetBSD1.1 on my A3000 (Amiga 3000) with 2 Quantum DD and 1 Zip Drive (95 
meg). My first problem is found on the initialization:  

> ahsc0 targ 5 lun 0:<IOMEGA, ZIP 100, N*32> SCSI2 )/direct removable
> sd1 at scsibus0sd1(ahsc0:5:0):illegal request, data= 00 00 00 00 24 00
00 00... 
> 00 00 ff fe 01 09 3c 00 00
> sd1: coul not mode sense (4); using fictitious geometry
> : 96MB, 96cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sec

But everything else is ready.
I know the parameters of Zip Drive from HdToolBox:... 

>            Filename: drive definition
>  Manufacturers name: IOMEGA
>          Drive Name: ZIP 100
>      Drive Revision: N*32
>           Cylinders: 2891
>               Heads: 1
>    Blocks per Track: 68
> Blocks per Cylinder: 68
>    Attention : (Cannot find track size, assuming 68)

(and I just want to know how I can input this parameters)

I also don't understand why after when it is questionning "where do you want
your /usr? it doesn't work with sd0 -> Address SCSI 0. 


Thanks a lot.
