Good questions Bob.  Since I have an ata system, now supported in FBSD 4.0,
this would be the command line syntax before I modified /etc/fstab:

mount_msdos /dev/afd0s4 /zip

As I understand "s4" denotes the entire disk just like "c" does for hard
drives (it didn't mount at all without it).
I also mount to /zip obviously.  Here's the line in /etc/fstab for your
review:
 
/dev/afd0s4	msdos	/zip 	noauto,r,w	0  	0


I agree that once mounted, the OS should not allow the disk to eject, but I
can.  This makes me wonder if it mounted correctly in the first place, but I
can perform any file operation I want to once mounted.  Needless to say, it
doesn't recognize it when I eject a disk and put another one in.
