Not usng a Jaz but, a Zip works fine. As long as you have the SCSI card
getting recognized at boot.
If you type 'dmesg' you'll see where the system wants to place the Jaz in
the /dev directory.

Create a mount point (/jaz or /mnt/jaz would work unless you have more
than one parition - then you'll need more mount points), use fdisk (Druid is
flaky) to create the partitions the way you want them, put entries in
/etc/fstab for the partitions you created, run mkfs for each parition, then
mount them just like the CD.
My Zip currently lives on /dev/sdc1. But, it has been on /dev/sda1,
/dev/sda4 and /dev/sdb1. So, you'll need to use dmesg to look at where it's
is placed during bootup. And I ran fdisk on /dev/sdc, NOT /dev/sdc1, to
create partitions.
