That was me.  Sorry...

Hmmm.  Let's try doing what we did before, send me the info on the drive
(I *might* be able to find it around here...), and I'll recompile the
kernel so it thinks that's a disk drive.  Last time we tried that, it
was real confused about the geometry info, I think, but we'll start from
there...  The docs you have should help.  Is it a SCSI-2 or SCSI-1
device?

Hmmm.  I thought I did post that when I announced that kernel.  If I
think about it, I'll put a readme near it...

Frankly, I don't recall.  Sorry for the confusion, we're trying to work
some of these details out, now...  Thanks,
