I am trying to get pcfs to recognize the dos partition.  I have applied
patches and have the new disklabel and fdisk.  I also used the PCFS option
when compiling the kernel, compiled fine.  Now I can pcfs mount the floppy
but can't mount the dos hard drive.

I did this,

%fdisk ...
which returned size = 65307, offset = 33.

%disklabel -e /dev/rwd0d

adding the line:  e:  65307  33 MSDOS    #comment here

Exiting the editor results in... Warning, unused partition e: size 65307
offset 33

I tried to mount anyway  with #mount -t pcfs /dev/wd0e

This results in... Device not configured.

Obviously there's something I'm missing, anybody got a clue?
