Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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? -- Ted Stockwell, stockwel@visi.com
