Accessing Jaz Drives 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 drives and Zip drives in the same way as in previous releases.

• If you are freshly installing the Solaris 8 6/00 release, you cannot access your Jaz drives and Zip drives in the same way as in previous Solaris releases.

Follow the next procedure if you want to access your Jaz and Zip drives the same way as in 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
