Hi,

I have an old Syquest 44MB drive and I would like
to use it by FreeBSD on a Pentium 100 PC. It is recognized
by fdisk, but the in-core disklabel seems to be totally
wrong (the cartridge was formatted by Win95). So, I have  
some questions:

  - How can I label a cartridge?
  - How can I format a cartridge?
  - Do you have a sample disktab entry?
  - Can I mount a Win95-formatted cartridge as msdos device
    and if so, how?
    (simply calling mount_msdos does not work due to
     the wrong disklabel)

Many thanks in advance!

Wolfgang
