I have an Iomega Minidrive 64 that I used successfully until changes in=20
CURRENT around September 7.

Presently, when I insert the device, it's recognized correctly, but cannot =
be=20
read. A long delay occurs between the:

sd2 at scsibus1 target 0 lun 0: <IOMEGA, Mini 64*IOM, 3.04> disk removable

and the

sd2: fabricating a geometry

I can no longer mount the device or read the disklabel.

Opening a new package, and trying an unused one:

fdisk sd2 returns:

fdisk: DIOCGDEFLABEL: Inappropriate ioctl for device
fdisk: DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

and disklabel sd2 returns:

disklabel: Invalid signature in mbr record 0
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

OpenBSD's fdisk and disklabel show the new unit as having a single DOS=20
partition 'i'. It's active partition is 0 and it's signature 0xAA55. It als=
o=20
shows a different geometry, 7/255/63, than the 62/64/32 fabricated by NetBS=
D.

Is there anything I can do to use the devices?
