Having tossed FreeBSD 2.1.5 up (the Walnut CD-ROM) on a 385/25 with
eight meg ram as a mail/news server, I'm hacking it the configuration
enough that I need to backup.  Unfortunately, my floppy tape drive is on
the 486/66 OS/2 LAN server, and I'm not even going to try moving it to
to the 386 -- darn thing can barely keep up on the 486.

So plan "B" is my SCSI zip drive, will it work as a generic SCSI disk? 
I'm regenning SCSI disk support back into the system as speak, is there
anything else I need to do.
