Fairly obviously, I use /zip for a ZIP disk with a UFS filesystem on it, or /zipdos for an MS-DOS formatted disk. Both work fine. If you need more clues on how to format a UFS disk, email me, and I can post the script that I use for it. It took a while, and some help from others, to get it right. /dev/wfd0c /zip ufs rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/wfd0s4 /zipdos msdos rw,noauto 0 0 If you have these entries in /etc/fstab, you can simply say mount /zip or mount /zipdos If you don't have the entries in /etc/fstab, the commands are: mount /dev/wfd0 /zip or mount -t msdos/dev/wfd0 /zipdos On Wed, 11 Nov 1998, Aaron Parmelee wrote: > > hello: > > i have an internal zip drive, and have been trying to mount it, > unsuccessfully. i have looked at the bsd handbook site, but the page > dealing with zip drives is empty. how do i mount the zip drive? the same > way i mount the cdrom? > > thanks > > -aaron > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
