I doubt that the jaz drive is the main problem.  I run MacBSD on a jaz 
drive formatted by Silverlining (the newest update from the La Cie web 
site), mkfs 1.4 and installer 1.1d since February (currently running the 
4/2/97 snapshot).  Nothing special, just a standard install.  The only 
problem I ran into was the need for an sbc kernel.  Oh, and I also boot 
from MacOS 7.6.1.
