I've created a NetBSD Usr partition on my Zip drive. I've Mkfs'd using 32
sectors/track and 64 tracks/cylinder (as according to the instructions).

When I boot single user and attempt to run fsck -p, I get the following
error:

/dev/rsd2a: CANNOT READ: BLK 16
/dev/rsd2a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck_ffs MANUALLY.

So, I run fsck with no arguments. Following is output:

CANNOT READ: BLK16
CONTINUE? [yn] y
THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
27, 28, 29, 30, 31,
/dev/rsd2a: NOT LABELED AS A BSD FILE SYSTEM (unknown)

Located at sd0 is my Mac formatted hard drive. sd1 contains my root&usr
partition, on my EZ drive. I do have cd0 (internal Apple 300 CD ROM
drive). sd2 is the Zip drive (on SCSI ID 5, partition a is the NetBSD Usr
partition).

I partitioned the first partition on the Zip as a scratch one, and made a
10k scratch behind it (for mkfs 1.4). Running mkfs, I changed the first
scratch to a NetBSD Usr partition. I did the same thing on my EZ (and I'm
in UNIX now...) so, that shouldn't be the problem.

mkfs runs with no errors whatsoever...

Any help would be appreciated...thanks :)
