I don't understand what you're trying to do. Are you trying to format (newfs) these disks, or just mount them? For the newfs stuff, see my disk building docs at http://resnet.uoregon.edu/dwhite/makedisk.html (no tilde) and look for the Zip stuff. I would assume that these drives act just like hard disks or other SCSI removables.
