I'm trying to use a Jaz drive with FreeBSD 2.2.1 and an adaptec 1542
scsi controller.  The drive behaves fine when I boot Windows 95, but I
can't seem to make a disk usable under FreeBSD.  I found some old mail
in the archives which gave some steps (scsiformat, disklabel, newfs),
which did not work.  The disklabel fails unless I go in with fdisk and
change some things.  When I get the disklabel to succeed, then the
newfs will hang after printing a few backup superblocks, at which
point the whole system is wedged and must be a power cycled.

Any suggestions?
