Trouble mounting Zip drive (solved!)

Hi and thanks for all help!

Seems like I have found a sollution (thanks to this excellent tutorial 
http://freebsd.peon.net/tutorials/10/ and the help from the mailinglist 
members):

One thing: I still don't understand how I should know that the device is 
rda0 or rda0c or even da0 sometimes in the example below. If someone could 
explain I'd be happy :-)

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rda0 count=2
2+0 records in

# disklabel -Brw da0 auto

# newfs /dev/rda0c
