Hello,

    So I've got here your 3.1 distribution set of FreeBSD.  Great book
by the way.  Anway, I go to do my first ever kernel compile and sure
enough I've got problems.  Running /usr/sbin/config goes fine, but when
I go to do the make, /usr/src/sys/sys/vnode.h (line 457) and
/usr/src/sys/isofs/cd9660/cd9660_bmap.c (line 43) both make references
to a vnode_if.h   .  Needless to say, "No such file or directory
*** Error code 1 "   yada yada ya.

    So I search the entire FreeBSD drive and all 4 FreeBSD disks looking
for this file and ..... nothing, nowhere.  So, as it sits right now, I'm
stuck.  If I really get bored tomorrow, maybe I'll see what happens if I
comment out those include lines and compile it as is!? =)    Any help
would be well appreciated.

    And ohh yes, one other thing.  I've got an internal, IDE Iomega Zip
drive.  The drive is recognized by the default kernel and I can create
the device file using MAKEDEV (/dev/wfd0).  When I go to mount it, the
Zip drive goes active, like it's spinning up the disk, and then I get
an, "incorrect super block" message.

cc69595-a# cd /dev
cc69595-a# ./MAKEDEV wfd0
cc69595-a# mount /dev/wfd0 /zip
mount: /dev/wfd0 on /zip: incorrect super block
cc69595-a#

    I'm 90% sure that this is because the Zip disks are Dos formatted,
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?  Is there any way I can get my Zip to drive to work and how can
I format the disks?

Thanx a lot for your time,
Bill Hussey
