Hi,
  Well, I got the drive geometry from NetBSD, and entered it in
HDToolBox.  First of all, it wouldn't let me use the first 2 blocks,
presumably for the RDB.  I got all the data entered in, rebooted
and booted NetBSD, and it still won't allow me to use the
Zip cart as /usr.    Any more suggestions?
