Hi,

I am trying to boot off a iomega zip drive. Without success. The boot code is 
not able to find a UFS file-system. The drive is connected as a primary 
master.  There are no other drives connected.

I have tried a dedicated disk and normal. I have tried different motherboards 
with newer BIOSes.. No luck at all.

I am running FreeBSD 4.5-RC2 on the system where i generate the boot disk.

I have changed the boot code to check some settings like the geometry, but 
without success too. It seems as if there is an extra 32 block offset 
somewhere.

I have seen postings being successful with this. What release was used?

Please help.

Peter
