old web page which as far as I can tell has been removed from their
web site.  Meaning that I looked for it recently but could not find
any of this stuff there.  I guess they've revamped their server.

I realize these defaults are for Sun but one can use them to get defaults
for NetBSD...

Your milage may vary,

Ian

Zip Tools Disk Compatibility Problems With Sun Workstations

Installing An Iomega Drive On A Sun Workstation

5/9/95

This document contains the steps that are needed to Install an Iomega drive
onto a SUN Workstation.

Supported Drives:
SunOs 4.1.1 - Transportable, Dual 230. Multidisk 150 Transportable and Dual
Subsystems, 90 PRO Transportable and Dual Workstation Subsystems, Lasersafe
Workstation, Lasersafe PRO, Lasersafe PLUS.

SunOs 4.1.2 - Transportable, Dual 230. Multidisk 150 Transportable and Dual
Subsystems, 90 PRO Transportable and Dual Subsystems, Lasersafe, Lasersafe
PRO, Lasersafe PLUS.

Solaris 2.0 - Zip 100 SCSI model. Transportable, Dual 230. Multidisk 150
Transportable and Dual Subsystems, 90 PRO Transportable Subsystem,
Lasersafe, Lasersafe PRO, Lasersafe PLUS.
Important Note: Zip Tools disks can not be formatted using the Sun
operating system. Only "standard" non-write protected Zip disks can be
used.

Set the Workstation Mode Select Switch
Bernoulli 150 Multidisk subsystems require the workstation switch behind the
motor access panel to be set in the REMOVABLE position (factory setting) for
SunOS 4.1.2, 4.1.3, and Solaris 2.0 and in the FIXED position for SunOS
4.1.1. The Workstation mode select switch is behind the motor access panel
on the front of the drive. On Lasersafe PRO and Lasersafe PLUS drives set
switch 3 on switch block 2 to the OFF position for SunOS 4.1.2, 4.1.3, and
Solaris 2.0 and in the ON position for SunOS 4.1.1.

Set the SCSI ID Switch
For SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.2, or 4.1.3 - Use SCSI ID 0, 1, or 2. Be sure to select
an unused setting.

For Solaris 2.0- SCSI IDs 3 & 7 are reserved, use any other unused SCSI ID
setting.

Attach the Iomega Drive to your SCSI adapter or chain.

Create a Device Entry Point (For Solaris 2.0 ONLY)
After attaching the Iomega device and starting your SPARCstation, enter the
following command.
At the OK prompt type: boot -r

Entries for format.dat
Enter the appropriate entry into the /etc/format.dat file. Use the system
editor and be careful not to change other file entries. THE ENTRIES ARE CASE
SENSITIVE!

Data Disk Preparation Procedure
1. Insert the correct Iomega disk in the Iomega drive prior to
booting the SPARCstation.

2. Run the SunOS format program
At the # prompt type: format

In the following examples, X represents the sd number shown on your
monitor for the drive that contains the working disk.

3. Select the sd number related to the drive that contains the disk you are
formatting.(If the disk has never been formatted, the program should enter
the Drive Type menu. Select the appropriate disk type from the list.

4. Use the partition subcommand to choose partition information.

5. Use the print option to verify the existence of the c partition.

6. Use the label subcommand to write a label on the disk.

7. Use the quit subcommand twice to exit the format program.

8. Run the newfs utility to make a file system on the disk.
At the # prompt type: newfs -v /dev/rsdXc

Use a Disk
1. After the file system has been placed on the disk, you can mount it into
the UNIX
file system. (Replace mount_point with an appropriate mountable directory
eg. /mnt)
At the # prompt type: mount /dev/sdXc /mount_point

2. When you are through using the disk, it can be removed from the UNIX file
system.
At the # prompt type: umount /dev/sdXc
or:
umount /mount_point

3. To check the file system, make sure the disk is not mounted and use the
fsck command.
At the # prompt type: fsck /dev/rsdXc
