Hi!

I've got a parrallel port zip drive, and I can mount it no problem using the
command "mount_msdos /dev/da0s4 /zip"

However I'd like to create a Unix filesystem on the disk. So, after unmounting
it, I typed "disklabel -w /dev/da0s4 zip100" however I got the error message
"disklabel: No space left on device"

Do I need to destroy the msdos fs first? If so, how do I do this?

Many thanks! I'm using 3.1-R
