Dear FreeBSD Support,
I'm running 4.6.2 and trying to do two things with the mount command.

First, I'm trying to mount my USB Iomega Zip 100 drive. I see it on 
boot listed as "umass0: Iomega USB Zip 100, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 3". 
Directly underneath this line is: "umass0: Get Max Lun not supported 
(STALLED)". Does this mean that whatever Max Lun is that it needs to be 
configured in the kernal before I can mount my zip drive? If so, how do 
I do that?

So, when I do "mount /zip" I get a no file/directory error. I've put 
the following line in /etc/fstab "/dev/umass0 /zip msdos r,w 1,1" under 
the appropriate columns. Is the problem the FSType of msdos? Is there a 
particular FSType for Iomega USB Zip 100 disks, if so, then what is it?

Second, I'm trying to allow other users mounting priviledges for 
removable media. I followed the instructions found on the FAQ at 
freebsd.org under the section called "Disks, File Systems, and Boot 
Loaders" and the subsection called "9.22: How do I let ordinary users 
mount floppies, CDROMS, and other removable media?". When I changed 
over to another login and logged in as a user, I wasn't able to mount 
my CDROM or floppy disk. It gave a "not permitted" error each time. 
Again, in fstab I entered lines for the floppy: "/dev/fd0, /mnt, msdos, 
rw, 1, 1" to mount with just the "mount /mnt" command.

How can both of these challenges be resolved?

Thank you,
Ted
