Date: Wed, 29 Jan 1997 17:07:53 -0500 Organization: IDT Lines: 17 Message-ID: <tycheung-2901971707540001@tycheung.millburn.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: tycheung.millburn.org Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.sys.mac.apps:176812 comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc:5257 I am having trouble formatting a Zip disk for NetBSD; I create a A/UX 3.0 setup partition with SilverLining, and then attempt to use the mkfs application to set up the BSD file system; the program asks for some esoteric settings, i.e. size of setors, block size, track size, etc. and I'm not able to get past this part. Has anyone been able to set up a Zip disk for NetBSD? If so what settings did they use for mkfs? Thanks in advance, Tyler -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tyler Cheung :-) tycheung@ultrasparc.millburn.com cheungnk@alumni.caltech.edu http://www.cheung.millburn.org/
