Hi there!
Having just installed FreeBSD 2.0 on my computer, I have attempted to
setup a connection to my MSDOS partition so I can transfer other
binary distributions from the CDROM (my CDROM is not supported under
BSD, so I need to go via MS-DOS) to BSD.
In the installation process, I assigned the MSDOS partition to /dos
but it will not access it nor even recognize its existance. I have
tried to connect the MSDOS partition using the mount_msdos command
but to no avail. The system simply dies on me when I execute the
command, and I can do nothing (even backgrounding the task initally
causes it to halt everything else)
What have I done wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
