Hi ,
I have been tring to format my zip disc with the freebsd file system and
have been unsuccesful.
I will show what I have been trying which i found at www.freebsd.org.

My Zip device is /dev/da2s4.

1.  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rda2s4 count=2      
2.disklabel /dev/rda2s4 | disklabel -B -R -r da2s4 /dev/stdin        

I keep getting this error message here.
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument    

So I can never get to

3.newfs /dev/rda2s4       


Could anyone give me a hand.


Thanks
Rick
