Subject: Labeling a backward-compatible Zip disk?

Out of idle curiosity, I dug out my old box of Zip disks
(mainly consisting of
backups of an Amiga computer I sold many years ago). The
FreeBSD docs have
an excellent howto for making UFS-formatted disks, but I'd
really like to
format a disk that's basically identical to how it would have
originally
shipped. The biggest problem is that I have no idea what
partitioning scheme
the OEM-formatted disks used. Any ideas? Also, should I use
any particular
newfs options?

OK, this isn't the most pressing issue in the world. I'm
just wanting to
re-visit the height of 1996's technology.

Is the format for zip100 in /etc/disktab what you want?
