"Zip-drives and FreeBSD": http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/zip-drive/index.html and to some extent "Formatting media on FreeBSD" http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/formatting-media/index.html ********** Reply Separator ********** Thursday, January 22, 2004 5:37:52 AM I have went that route. It seems that no matter what I do, I receive the following error message when attempting to mount the disk: Incorrect Super block Do you have any suggestions? I have tried mounting in various ways, but they all fail. Formatting via /stand/sysinstall has not corrected the problem. Gerard Seibert gerard-seibert@rcn.com
