Hi, I've been attempting to get a handle on OF but I'm having trouble doing what should be a trivial task. I've been trying to: allocate a block of storage, open the zip drive and read block #0 of the zip into that storage. So far 'alloc-mem' seems to do just fine allocating storage. When I try: > " zip" select-dev I get: > " zip" select-dev DISK-LABEL: read of block0 failed > > can't OPEN device Is this because OF expects a non-Macintosh type disk label? If so what is the format? Is the disk-label specified anywhere in the OF documentation? I could attempt to write a standard label using dd from OS X. Thanks for any advice anyone can provide.
