Kris,  (and Mike)

Good advice.  Once I noticed that at some point in trying get it to work 
I put a REM on the usbmsd line, I was able to get it formatted JFS.

Only one oddity left.  In the drives folder it shows as a normal 
harddrive, but in LVM it has the removable media icon.  The drive in 
question is a SimpleTech 160GB External USB Hard Drive.

I don't know what is going to happen when I shutdown.  I have seen 
people say you should always eject removable media even though there is 
nothing really to eject.  In this case because in the drives folder it 
appears as a normal harddrive there is no eject setting on the popup 
menu. Well at least now thanks to you guys I know how to fix it if it 
gets messed up.

Thanks,  Jim
