If dmesg shows the zip drive then nothing needs to be done to the kernel. Nono, you may still ned to do step 3. > 2. If dmesg does not show the zip drive then refer to the links above. > 3. Look in /dev and see if the zip drive is there. IE.../dev/afd0 > 4. If not then do "sh MAKEDEV /dev/afd0" > 5. Learn to mount the drive correctly. IE..."mount_msdos /dev/afd0s4" It's possible - and in many cases *desirable* to put ufs file systems on a zip drive. > 6. Make a directory for a mount point. IE..."/zip". > 7. Edit fstab with "/dev/afd0s4 /zip msdos rw,noauto 0 0" > 8. Reboot Step 8 can be replaced by a simple "mount /zip". Rebooting to get changes to take effect is undesirable, and seldom required in Unix systems. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh? A: Tell them your plans.
