I think that was a typo. I think he meant `afd0'. This is the same thing my Zip drive shows up as, and yes, you do need to put a file system on it. It may already have a DOS fs on it, so you may want to try # file -s /dev/afd0 to see what's on it. If it says `data' then you need to make an FS before mounting: # disklabel -w /dev/afd0 auto # newfs /dev/afd0c # mount /dev/afd0 /mnt If it says FFS: # mount /dev/afd0 /mnt If it says x86 boot sector: 4.x: # mount_msdos /dev/afd0 /mnt 5.x: # mount_msdosfs /dev/afd0 /mnt Hope this helps, -- Josh > > ////jerry > > > > > > > > > Thanks > > > > > > M;) > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
