Use fdisk to convert a DOS partitioned zip disk to use sysid 165. All
other parameters of the partition should remain intact. Then, do
a "disklabel -w -r sd4s2 zip100
Where the sliced device number may be different on your system, and
zip100 is the following /etc/disktab entry.
zip100|Iomega Zip 100: \
:ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#96:rm#3600:\
:pa#196576:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:ta=4.2BSD: \
:pc#196576:oc#0:
This assumes 64/32 translation ala an Adatptec.
