Hi, Everyone !

Using NetBSD 1.5.2 I'm heavily struggling with my ZIP-drive (internal, =
SCSI). My goal is to use it as a mediua to exchange data between NetBSD=
 and Amiga.
Therefore I'm using a DOS-formatted ZIP100 media, which can easily read=
 and written by Amiga and by NetBSD.

The command "disklabel sd3" indentifies my ZIP drive correctly, showing=
 a single partition "c:"; I know that this "c:" is representing the who=
le media.

With the command "disklabel -i -I sd3" I've tried to add a partition "d=
:" with filesystem MSDOS, which fills the whole media. After writing th=
e label and exiting "disklabel" the trouble begins...
     - "disklabel sd3" shows up only the "c:" partition.
     - "disklabel -r sd3" shows "c:" and "d:" partitions.
NetBSD is complaining about "missing rdb", and refuses to mount the med=
ia (all mounts using correct parameters mount_msdos -o rw /dev/sd3d /mn=
t/zip100, mount-directory exists)

So what's up here, any ideas ?
