Will that allow me to mount the IDE drive as a pcfs file system from FreeBSD? I don't really want to take any space Yeah, you can just make a tiny fake freebsd partition that spans sectors 2-17, since they're not generally used by DOS! Then you can pop your disklabel in there that points to the actual DOS partition. Do this _carefully_ with FreeBSD's fdisk command.. Jordan
