I'm trying to set up a Zip drive. I consulted the following bit of mail that I received a while ago and saved for such an occasion: On Sat, 25 Jan 1997, Randall Hopper wrote: > Richard Levenberg: <snip> So I grabbed a disktab entry from below: > |zip100|Iomega Zip 100: \ > | :ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#96:rm#3600:\ > | :pa#196576:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:ta=4.2BSD: \ > | :pc#196576:oc#0: > <snip> And then I tried the following procedure: > > | disklabel -w -r /dev/sd0s4 zip100 > | ^^<-- this is from fdisk But I got this result: /home/ben# disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1s4 zip100 disklabel: /dev/sd1s4: Device not configured <snip> Undaunted (ok, maybe a little daunted), I tried the following: > If you want to get a little more space for your UFS, you can dedicate the > disk to the UFS (i.e. not work within within compatibility slices).

I tried cd'ing to /dev and running "./MAKEDEV sd1", to no avail. If some kind soul could tell me what step I've neglected, I'd be most grateful. Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
