I mounted it with vnconfig and added /dev/wfd0s4[c] manually. (Of course this only works with access to an already installed FreeBSD system having a ZIP drive.) However I suppose the correct fix would be to create appropriate /dev/* entries by the install programm before doing the mount. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
