I am new to BSD (and to UNIX) and have an ATAPI zip drive. I am running 2.2.6. I have been able to mount my DOS/Win95 formatted zip disks using... mount -t msdos /dev/wfd0s4 /zip without any problems. I would like to format a disk or two with the BSD FS so that I may use long file names, but I have had no luck thus far. I have followed the directions for fdisk and disklabel that I found at ... http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/diskformat/ and things appear to have worked correctly until I try to mount the disk. I get an "Invalid super block" message. I have tried both the dedicated and compatibility methods that are outlined on the above-mentioned tutorial page. I have also tried a couple of different drive geometries (96/64/32 and 512/12/32 cyl/head/sec). If anyone has been successful at getting this to work I would appreciate your input (remember I'm a rookie!). Please respond via email. TIA.
