Partition mount fails :( Date: 27 Sep 1994 17:22:41 GMT Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 31 Message-ID: <369kd1$d5h@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: rich.eecs.berkeley.edu Hi - I am having major difficulties getting my dos partitions mounted right. I have two scsi drives, one with two FAT partitions (one DOS, one OS/2), and a second drive with two DOS partitions (one extended partition, two logical drives). Initially, I tried to mount the OS/2 FAT partition with Freebsd - figured that that would be easy. Since it is sandwiched between FreeBSD and DOS, getting the size and offset is trivial. So, I went in, edited the disklabel, and created it as sd0g. However, when I try to mount it, the system freezes for about 10 seconds and then reboots. When I tried to do the same for my second hard drive, the disklabel would complain (something along the lines of "no valid bsd filesystem found", and erase the new entry I had just made from the disklabel. Trying to mount the partition anyway caused the same crash as above. Would anyone be able to tell me what I am doing wrong? I am running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on a 486/66, with an Ultrastor 34F. Thanks, Mark mds@ic.eecs.berkeley.edu
