I think I have identified the problem - the information is stored on sectors 1, 100 and 200, but there are no sectors in between (actually, there is no rotating surface either, so "in between" is a bit stupid). Using fdcontrol I can set the number of sectors to 200, and dd will attempt to read 512 bytes from wherever, but the driver always tries to read 4 sectors at a time. Can anyone point me to the source file where I can change this value (actually bp->b_bcount for fdstrategy() ). Any help would be appreciated.
