====== Message from Stephen Couchman 96.07.11 22:40 ======
  I have installed a Jaz drive as sd1 (SCSI id #2).  I am 
  using an Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter.  FreeBSD 
  does not seem to recognize the drive and produces the 
  following messages:
  
  (ahc0:2:0): "iomega jaz 1GB G.60" type 0 removable SCSI 2
  sd1(ahc0:2:0): Direct-Access
  sd1(ahc0:2:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in 
  CDB sd1 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious 
  geometry 1021MB (2091050 512 byte sectors)
===========================================================
I just installed an IOMega parallel port Zip drive into my kernel. It's not 
part of FreeBSD, I just found the PPA-3 driver on someone's web page 
(Nicolas.Souchu@prism.uvsq.fr) -- who can't actively support it at this 
time. 

The instructions said that I'd get messages about ficticious geometry, 
since it "can't be sensed".

I can still mount_msdos the drive on the 4th slice of the drive (sd0s4) 
with a working DOS ZipDisk and see the contents. The instructions said to 
fdisk-examine the drive to confirm which was the proper slice.

I don't know about your other problems, since I'm new to FreeBSD and still 
fooling around with the ZipDrive. Currently the probe at boot time takes 2 
minutes! I also haven't yet tried formatting it as a Unix disk.
