ESDI?  <chuckle>

Has anyone considered just newfsing and mounting the raw ('c', 'a', etc.) 
partition, if usage of the msdos Zip/Jaz disk format (which uses a fdisk
style label) isn't necessary? I've been using a Zip drive on NetBSD/amiga
and OpenBSD/i386 using the raw partition and fake geometry just fine for
some time now.
