The steps under BSD/SunOS are as follows: You need to create a default disktab entry for Jaz cartridge. Create a disklabel then newfs it for the desired file system heirarchy. Since I don't know the cartridge geometry for Jaz cartridges, you're going to have to hack that yourself or perhaps someone else can post it. Don't count on Iomega to give you that information without the customary $15 fee if you get through to them. A suggestion to the core/distribution team. Please add removable media disktab entries if they aren't presently part of the distribution. I know that you can't add something for every storage device in existance, but the commonly used ones would be appreciated. -- /* | Spam violation - e-mail dumped... ** Internet: jca@accessnv.com | Don't blame me, I didn't vote for Clinton. ** jca@anv.net | Intel is the word for 'errata.' */
