I'm using the modified 1.2E kernel that does not relocate itself into
TT-ram (AKA "st-ram kernel"). The old 1.2 kernel was only used to
install the bootstrap.

I had vm_faults during multiuser boot. I never had a chance to
binpatch something.

The kernel recognizes the ZIP drive without problems. I'm just unable
to mount DOS-formatted ZIP disks.

I have to wait for a kernel source where I can disable relocation.

I'm also using preformatted disks from both iomega and sony. I'm 
absolutly sure that these disks have not been reformatted after
they left the factory.
