Thank You for the help, I tried /dev/sdc4 without success and then sequentially tried /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2, no luck there either.
Then, on a wild hunch I tried mounting /dev/sdc without specifying a number and it worked! I have no idea why it worked, but your suggestions did put me on the right path so I'm not going to look this gift horse too closely in the mouth. Again, thank you. - BOHICA -----Original Message----- From: Brandon Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 06, 1998 21:58 To: BOHICA Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: RE: Jaz 1Gb on hamm dist I wrote: > Can you send me (and the list too) the output of "dmesg" and "fdisk -l" > with the cartridge in the drive?

Try sdc4: mount /dev/sdc4 /jaz Or if it doesn't detect it: mount -t vfat /dev/sdc4 /jaz mount -t msdos /dev/sdc4 /jaz You may also want to try sdc1 and sdc3 if 4 doesn't work.
