I have managed to convince the aux variation of hd sc setup to partition
a zip disk. I left it with a mac driver, about 30M of mac space, &
about 50 of slice 0. Ocassionally it has a problem, claiming the media
may need repair, but aside from that it works.
mkfs launches and correctly identifies the partions. HOwever, when i
select the slice, it gives page errors 5(3) and 5(4) (it's scsi id 5),
and suggests that i ignore them. It also reports 0 heads, 0 cylinders,
and announces that it's taking a wild-assed guess.
When i tell it to format, it takes about a second, and claims to be
done. However, installer 1.9.4 then fails with error 22, immediately.
I have tried the settings in the zip how-to, and these don't change
anything.
also, there is no hard disk on this 180 . . .
any ideas?
