They are harmless, as Mike says. However, where your kernel message says: > > sd1 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry > > 0MB (0 512 byte sectors) Mine says: 1021MB (2091050 512 byte sectors) sd0: with 1021 cyls, 64 heads, and an average 32 sectors/track I wasn't paying attention: are you running -current or -stable? Before you can mount it, you need to disklabel it and put a filesystem on it. Unless you want to look at a Jaz cartridge with a DOS filesystem on it ... in which case, be sure you use ``mount -t msdos...''. You may want to try ``fdisk sd1'' in order to see which partition you need to mount. For example, to mount my Jaz Tools disk (for no good reason), I do: mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s4 /mnt On Sun, May 10, 1998 at 04:32:21PM -0700, Mike Smith wrote: > > Heya, folks... > > > > I'm having the following strangeness occur w/ my Jaz drive > ... > > (ahc0:4:0): "iomega jaz 1GB G.72" type 0 removable SCSI 2 > > sd1(ahc0:4:0): Direct-Access > > sd1(ahc0:4:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0 Medium not present > > sd1: could not get size > > > > sd1(ahc0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB > > sd1 could not mode sense (4).
