On 2.2.x after getting a few of those errors that I just snipped out I
wrote a quick script based on what I found in the handbook. Works
quite well (note this is with an IDE zip disk, you'll need to change
the device filenames to match yours):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwfd0 count=2
disklabel -w -r wfd0 zip100 stuff
newfs /dev/rwfd0c
mount /dev/wfd0c /zip
cp new-zip-disk /zip
Vince.
