First of all, thanks to everyone for helping me get past my earlier
problems. It's much appreciated.
Now...for, of course, my CURRENT problem ;)
I originally had my JAZ drive holding my /usr slice, and everything else
was in a partition on my main IDE drive, a 1.6 gig NEC. If it's
pertinent, the arrangement went something like this...
IDE Drive:
400m: Win95
400m: FreeBSD (/, /var, and SWAP)
800m: Win95
JAZ Drive:
1gig: FreeBSD (/usr) (OR Win95, of course, that's what's nice about
JAZ...)
Anyway, I decided that Win95 wasn't so Vital as that, so I only gave it a
500m slice at the beginning of the drive, and gave the rest to BSD and
re-installed BSD.
The problem is, I'd still like to be able to access the msdos file system
that's on the JAZ. The sysinstall program recognizes the JAZ drive, but
doesn't see that there's a FAT system on it, it only sees it as empty
space. And, during normal bootup, the JAZ drive seems to time out
inexplicably. It still works ok in Win95, but when I try the following
command:
mount -t msdos /dev/sd0a /jaz
I either get:
Jun 22 09:36:49 jesus /kernel: sd0(ahc0:4:0): Logical unit not ready,
cause not reportable
or
Jun 22 09:36:49 jesus /kernel: Debugger("sdopen: no slices") called.
or
Jun 22 09:36:58 jesus /kernel: sd0(ahc0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0
Invalid field in CDB
And last but not least...
msdos: mount: Invalid argument
These will happen in various combinations, and I'm afraid I'm fresh out
of things to try, with my limited knowledge. If anyone out there has any
advice, or nifty SCSI tricks, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
