I'm booting Solaris off of my Jaz drive now using system commander.
FreeBSD boots off the HDD and I have another Jaz drive that contains cvs,
src, cvs-smp, src-smp, cvs-lite2, and src-lite2.

I haven't had any real problems.  I'm a little paranoid and do extra
syncs and umount /jaz before I reboot though.

I confused System Commander once when swapping jaz cartridges and deleting
a BSD entry that appeared for the non-bootable FreeBSD partition on the
Jaz.  I lost partition information, but I was able to easily restore it
using sysinstall without any loss of data.

Regards,
