Has anyone ever successfully installed LINUX native partitions on a JAZ
drive..
I'm getting through cartridges at an alarming rate, they become
unbootable if I use the linux or FreeBSD tools to reFDISK the drive
How can I get my OS to boot from JAZ, Win95 is fine, so is NT.. *sigh* I
know UNIX is better, but IOMEGA apparently don't...
Detailed instructions for FBSD 2.2.1 or Redhat LINUX would be extremely
helpful
Thankyou all

Just prepare your SCSI-bootdisc (depending on your SCSI-controller)Quote:> Detailed instructions for FBSD 2.2.1 or Redhat LINUX would be extremely

1. Using Iomega Jaz drive ( if they ever come out) as a Boot drive???
I had been concidering using an Iomega Jaz drive (when they come out)
as the boot drive on my system...
Because i have this tendency to change operating systems every other
week or more... (involving messy reformattings/partitionings/and
backup & restores from floppies) I was thinking it would be possible
to use the Jaz drive so that whenever i want to change OS.. i could
just shutdown one OS and change the cartridge...
I was noticing on Iomega's slow homepage that the specs for the Jaz
said something about:
Average start/stop time 10/5 seconds
http://www.iomega.com/jazspec.html
Ack!... Well anyway.. i am somewhat with exactly what that spec
means...
i.e does it take 10 seconds for the drive to spin-up every time you
wanna access it? (which wouldnt work for running the os from) or is
that simply a 10 second wait on startup of the machine...?
say it aint so..?
thanks
