I am having trouble formatting a Zip disk for NetBSD; I create a A/UX 3.0
setup partition with SilverLining, and then attempt to use the mkfs
application to set up the BSD file system; the program asks for some
esoteric settings, i.e. size of setors, block size, track size, etc.  and
I'm not able to get past this part.  Has anyone been able to set up a Zip
disk for NetBSD?  If so what settings did they use for mkfs?


Thanks in advance,

Tyler
