OpenLinux2.4 - Mounting Internal ZIP Drive

[Kevin O'Connor]

Have you tried typing:

> mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /mnt/disk

That should mount your zip drive onto the directory "/mnt/disk" 
assuming:

1) You are trying to mount a Windoze format disk.

2) You have your hardware configured the same way as before. (The zip
drive is IDE and still your slave on your 2nd IDE port.

3) You have a directory called disk in your mnt directory ...
	Create one if you need to : >  mkdir /mnt/disk
You could call it 'zip' instead if you want to.
