Run /stand/sysinstall Choose Custom, then Partition Select the Zip drive Now choose "A" for use entire disk and then "W" write the partition info out. Quit out of sysinstall (Labeling from sysinstall doesn't work for me ??) Run disklabel -e Copy the c: line (yyp in vi) Change c: to e: Change unused to 4.2BSD Add another 0 before the # Your size will be different but the lines should now look like c: 3173184 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 197*) e: 3173184 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 197*) Save your changes and the new disklabel will be written out newfs it and you're ready to go.
