1. scsiformat -w sdX (where X is the reported number for your jaz disk)
2. Make entry for jaz in /etc/disktab:
jaz:jaz1gb:JAZ Drive with 1GB:\
:ty=removable:dt=SCSI:rm#3600:\
:se#512:nt#64:ns#31:nc#1053:sc#1984:su#2089152:\
:pc#2089152:oc#0:
3. disklabel -w -r sdX jaz
4. disklabel -e sdX (edit disklabel, define partitions)
5. newfs /dev/rsd1c
Alternative to disklabel, newfs: /stand/sysinstall. In the partition
editor, make sure 1021 cyls/64 heads/32 sectors is specified at top. In
disklabel editor, use defaults.
6. mkdir /jaz
7. mount /dev/sd1 /jaz
You may get some warning messages as the system mounts the drive, but I've
ignored them with no adverse consequences. Also, the jaz cartridge cannot
be ejected without first unmounting the jaz (which is reasonable).
8. To unmount: umount /dev/sd1 (umount, not unmount)
