>Description:
Under 3.0-SNAP-19980821 Zip disks (Parallel port, but using SCSI protocol)
worked perfectly with the sd0 device driver.
However, in 3.0-RELEASE the major move from sd0 to {cam}/da0 was made,
and now MSDOS Zip disks cannot be mounted/format, etc.
The only access that works is with FFS Zip's, and ONLY if you boot up with
the disk inserted. If one mounts and then unmounts the Zip, removes it from
drive, and plugs in a new zip, the system is incapable of reading the
new disklabel, and subsequently crashes, with the dump stating it was
in {cam} at the time of crash.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile custom kernel with ppbus, vpo0, scsi controller, and device da0.
Boot up with Zip disk in parallel port zip drive, mount, unmount,
remove Zip, reinsert.. Subsequently watch system panic.
>Fix:
Temporary fix: Make a config option so that one can use the old sd0
driver with Parallel port Zip disk, until {cam/da0} properly works
with removeable media.
