I doubt that the jaz drive is the main problem. I run MacBSD on a jaz
drive formatted by Silverlining (the newest update from the La Cie web
site), mkfs 1.4 and installer 1.1d since February (currently running the
4/2/97 snapshot). Nothing special, just a standard install. The only
problem I ran into was the need for an sbc kernel. Oh, and I also boot
from MacOS 7.6.1.
