Below is the last part of a 'disklabel wd1'. That drive contains only the root and a swap partition of my FreeBSD, most of it is MSDOS. Partition 'e' used to be the same as it is now, except of type 4.2BSD. First I had the MSDOS partition on 'f', but since that didn't work, I tried it like this. But STILL, a 'mount -t pcfs /dev/wd1e /mnt' gives me "Invalid argument". Could someone tell me what I have fouled up, and also if the original 'e' partition (the BSD one) is necessary (it doesn't SEEM to be). Oh, and I did read the pcfs man page. sigh. here's the disklabel: 5 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 30360 660 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 1 - 46) b: 68640 31020 swap # (Cyl. 47 - 150) c: 665940 660 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 1 - 1009) d: 666600 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1009) e: 566940 99660 MSDOS # (Cyl. 151 - 1009)
