I've written a disk with "bzcat zipImage.bz2 > /dev/hdd" (my Zip drive
is hdd) and the Bush can see it properly. However the Linux ADFS driver
appears to have limited write support (only permissions and the like, no
creation of new blocks) and I can't acutally unzip the Linux stuff onto
the disk. :(
