#define quoting(Christopher S Johnson)
// I am new to the wold of FreeBSD, but somewhat familiar with Linux and Unix. The problem I am running in to is getting my zip drive to mount. When my system boots up and probes for devices, the zip drive is assigned sd1. Once I log in, based on what I do in Linux, if I try to mount the drive using the command mount /dev/sd1 /zip it returns an error. 

FreeBSD use specific devices for each partition.

If it's a DOS disk, try this:

mount -t msdos /dev/sd1s4 /zip
