OK, Put the following entry in your /etc/disktab file:
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:
Here's the script I used to prepare a zip disk for mounting:
# /bin/sh
scsiformat -w /dev/sd1 && \
disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c zip100 && \
newfs -Tzip100 /dev/rsd1a
I put that in a file /usr/local/bin/mkzip, you can name it what you want,
but make it executeable and in the root users execution path. Then just
mount the disk:
mount /dev/sd1a /zip
Of course, you're going to have to modify the above to fit your local
disk setup (my zip is my second disk, or sd1).
