  I tried ufs and it still has heartburn.  Could there be some kind of
byte swapping problem here?

1. Jaz drive on Sparc Solaris 2.5 - format doesn't detect it!

Hello,

I got a Jaz drive hooked up to a Sparc running Soalris 2.5.

I saw the web pages that listed the format.dat information and did inert it to the file.  After reading the man pages and whatnot,  I see that format should detect the drive and insert the proper information.  Well, it doesn't.  

This is not a SCSI problem, because the bus works fine.  probe-scsi at the monitor prompt also reports that Jaz drive.

I have done a boot -r to get the /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s? and the /dev/dsk entries as well.  Infact, if I do a 'head /dev/rdsk/cot5d0s2', the drive will spin up and then crap out with a no device message.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong????

Many thanks...
