I think that was a typo. I think he meant `afd0'.
This is the same thing my Zip drive shows up as, and yes, you do need to put a
file system on it. It may already have a DOS fs on it, so you may want to try
# file -s /dev/afd0
to see what's on it. If it says `data' then you need to make an FS before mounting:
# disklabel -w /dev/afd0 auto
# newfs /dev/afd0c
# mount /dev/afd0 /mnt
If it says FFS:
# mount /dev/afd0 /mnt
If it says x86 boot sector:
4.x: # mount_msdos /dev/afd0 /mnt
5.x: # mount_msdosfs /dev/afd0 /mnt

Hope this helps,
