>> hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
>OK, this is what we're talking about
Yep, this i it, except that now it is hdc. Another person pointed out
that sometimes Zip IDE drives don't like being slaves of CD-ROM drives.
So, I reversed them, with no difference.
>> Partition check:
>> ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 5a, key = 5, asc = 24, ascq = 0
>> ide-floppy: Can't get drive capabilities
>> hdd: 98304kB, 32/64/96 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm
>> hdd: The drive reports both 100663296 and 0 bytes as its capacity
>Your system still sees the drive as hdd (i.e. IDE, I guess you
>don't need the scsi emulation)
An earlier e-mail suggested that. Once I get it working, I can boot the
kernel that doesn't have it and see what happens.
>> I get: mount: /dev/hdd1: can't read superblock
>The disk doesn't look like ext2 formatted, or it's not inserted.
>Not a problem yet.
Ah, but it is a problem, since the disk is ext2 formatted (on partition 1)
and it was inserted. Doesn't like Dos formatted disks either.
>> The fstab entry for the Zip drive is:
>>
>> /dev/hdd1 /zip ext2 noauto,user,defaults 0 0
>> /dev/hdd4 /dos/zip vfat noauto,user,defaults 0 0
>>

Can't get that far. The following error is returned:
#>fdisk /dev/hdc
Unable to open /dev/hdc
>Insert a blank disk. Run "fdisk /dev/hdd".
See above.
