I hope this will helps you. Dear Guys of FreeBSD Recently I began to set up all my devices on FreeBSD kernel and They have been working very nice, but I decided to install a Iomega Zip Plus (Parallel Port version) on FreeBSD. The kernel reconize and set up my Iomega Zip on the device da0 but when I tried to mount, I have some problems. Here is a example of message that I get when I try to mount the Iomega ZIp: mount -t msdos /dev/da0 /mnt myname /kernel: mountmsdosfs():bad bpb msdos: /dev/da0: Invalid argument. Please could some one tell me what happen ?. I don`t understand. Please also help me to solve the problem. Thanks a lot for your help. ----------------------------------------------- FREE!
