Obviously you must have the SCSI version of the Zip for this to even get close to working properly. 1. Search the mail archives and get the disktab details for the zip. 2. Fdisk/disklabel/newfs a Zip disk. 3. (?) Boot the boot floppy and do an install to that disk, mounting your FSs instead of newfsing them. Let us know the results, and good luck.
