Try the 'msdos' filesystem. mount -tmsdos /dev/fd0 /floppy Most of the time, unless you're writing your own UFS floppies, you'll be dealing with the msdos type. > Is there a file system in BSD which provides compatibility for Dos > and Unix like auto in Linux mmm? Do you mean a single filesystem type to enter on the mount command line that will recognize which type of filesystem is on the disk and switch to it? I don't think so. > I have an iomege zip drive connected on Ide port. What file system > should I chose for this. Use the filesystem that the disk is written in, probably msdos. If you're asking what kind of filesystem to create on a disk for use under FreeBSD, you'll probably be best with the UFS type. -- Derrick Baumer - Black Duck Software To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
