Alas, that's The Book's fault :-( Since it was written, it became mandatory to perform a 'make depend' before 'make': the 'make depend' creates the vnode_if.h.

If you want to mount an MS-DOS file system, you need the option -t msdos: # mount -t msdos /dev/wfd0 /zip If you don't specify a file system type, mount assumes that it's UFS. I've never used a zip disk, and I'm not sure if /dev/wfd0 is the correct device; you may find you need /dev/wfd0s1 or some such. Maybe somebody else can comment on this, or you can try it out. > and as I read it in the book, there is no way to format an IDE drive > except, as the book puts it, to format it with the BIOS. What does > this mean? When you boot up some machines, the BIOS setup screens include a hard disk format utility. You can use this to format (in Microsoft terms: low-level format) an IDE disk. I'm pretty sure that's not necessary. > Is there any way I can get my Zip to drive to work and how can > I format the disks? I think that what you want to do is to create MS-DOS file systems. This isn't formatting, though Microsoft sometimes calls it that. You can create MS-DOS file systems with the mformat command. You can create ufs file systems with newfs. Both are described in The Book. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
