Accessing Jaz or Zip Drives

You can determine whether accessing your Jaz or Zip drives changes from previous Solaris releases depending on whether you upgrade or install the Solaris 8 6/00 release:

• If you are upgrading to the Solaris 8 6/00 release from a previous Solaris release, you can continue to access your Jaz and Zip drives the same way as previous releases.

• If you are freshly installing the Solaris 8 6/00 release, you will not be able to access your Jaz and Zip drives the same way as previous Solaris releases.

Follow the procedure below if you want to access your Jaz and Zip drives the same way as previous Solaris releases.

1. Become superuser.

2. Comment the following line in the /etc/vold.conf file by inserting a pound (#) sign at the beginning of the text, like this:

   #use rmdisk drive /dev/rdsk/c*s2 dev_rmdisk.so rmdisk%d

3. Reboot the system.

   # init 6
