Unfortunately, a ZIP won't work, as an NTFS created on a ZIP disk mounts
just fine.  (I don't know if this is size-related or ZIP related.)

However, I did manage to find a scratch 1G disk to use to test.  I dd'd it
from /dev/zero to make sure it started clean, then booted into Win2K.  I
formatted it using standard NTFS parameters, made sure I could read it (but
didn't copy anything over to it), then rebooted into NetBSD.  The new
partition failed to mount, with similar errors to my local hard drive.

I've included a log of some of my commands below.  This includes attempts
to mount the ZIP (sd7), my real drive (wd0), and the scratch drive (wd1).

A disk image of the 1G drive is available at:

ftp://ftp.wheaton.edu/pub/jdarrow/wd1.image.gz

(Please note that, while the gzipped file is only about 1MB, it expands to
just over 1GB, so you'll need quite a bit of space for it.)

If I have a chance later on, I can try reformatting the scratch drive with
smaller and smaller partitions to see if there is a boundary point below
which mount_ntfs works fine, but above which it fails.  This might give a
clue as to where to look for the problem.  (Or it might not, if MS simply
decided arbitrarily to format smaller disks using NTFS4 and larger ones
using NTFS5...)
