Nadav covered the first problem fine, but I want to elaborate on the SCSI Zip message. > Another problem, when the kernel gets to initializing my scsi zip drive, > this happens, > > sd0(aic0:5:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB > and, > sd0 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry > > whats wrong with that part? Nothing, this is normal. The SCSI Zip drive doesn't support the SCSI MODE SENSE command, which reports the geometry of the device. As long as you boot up with a disk in the drive, the proper geometry will be returned. As long as this is output just below that error message: 96MB (196608 512 byte sectors) You should be OK. If you want to format this disk as a FreeBSD FFS, by any chance, check out http://resnet.uoregon.edu/dwhite/makedisk.html (no tilde).
