Tried your suggestion.
I fdisked the zip disk and deleted /dev/sda4. I then created /dev/sda4
with begin and end cylinders of 1 and 96. When I left fdisk and it
wrote the new table it reported this:
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 196608 [96 MB] [0.1 GB]
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: unknown partition table
SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 196608 [96 MB] [0.1 GB]
sda: Write Protect is off
Syncing disks.
I fdisked the same disk and this is how my new partition turned out:
Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 96 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda4 1 1 2142 2193280 3 XENIX usr
Partition 4 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(95, 15, 32) logical=(2141, 56, 32)
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(95, 15, 32) should be (95, 63, 32)
This was using another of my zip disks, that contained no important
data. Apparently all my disks are reporting the same partition info.
