My first problem. I took somsones advice and used scsiformat -w sd0 on my jaz disk. It went find for about 20 minutes, then stopped. The process was hung, didn't respond to a kill -9 or -15 I rebooted. After a couple tries to format the disk, I gave up and went to format it on another machine(Mac), and it worked fine there. Since I'm an irc nut, I decided to ask a couple people on #freebsd seeing as how I hang out there a fair amount. Someone suggested using sysinstall to edit the partitions and that kind of thing. So I attempted, and it failed apparently. Next time I run sysinstall, I get this messages.... Apr 1 21:17:33 bifrost /kernel: sd0: error reading primary partition table reading fsbn 0 (sd0 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0) I'm stuck...the cartridge seems to work with dos/mac, but I really bought it for use with FreeBSD... My big problem seems to be that things hang when I use them on my jaz, I'm going to check the termination and all that, but I'm not sure what I can do... Anyone in the Santa Cruz or SF bay area want to format this disk for me? I can pay, I'm desparate :) here's my SCSI related dmesg output.. There is no media in the drive at the moment... --- ncr0 rev 2 int a irq 10 on pci0:15 (ncr0:4:0): "iomega jaz 1GB H.72" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd0(ncr0:4:0): Direct-Access sd0(ncr0:4:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. sd0(ncr0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB sd0 could not mode sense (4).
