Dear ZIP users,

I have a SCSI IoMega ZIP drive.  I am trying to put a file system on it and
am having trouble.

I have an NCR SCSI controller which sees the ZIP and gives the standard
error that everyone is getting and which I am not worrying about. The
identification string says IOMEGA ZIP 100 D.08. I formatted the disk in
WIN95 and booted FreeBSD 3.0-970118-SNAP.  Ran FDISK and changed the sysid
to 165.

I have a disktab entry of:

zip100|Iomega Zip 100: \
        :ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#96:rm#3600:\
        :pa#196576:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:ta=4.2BSD: \
        :pc#196576:oc#0:

I do a:

        disklabel -w -r /dev/sd0s4 zip100
                                ^^<-- this is from fdisk

So far so good.  Then I try a:
        newfs -Tzip100 /dev/sd0s4

and it gets to writing the super-block backup areas and the computer freezes
hard.  I cant switch to another virtual console or ctrl-c or anything so I
have to hit the reset button.  Can anyone help me or tell me what I am doing
wrong.

richardl
