Has someone written a driver/translator/utility for MS-DOS or
Windows that can read FreeBSD partitions on the same disk? I have one
FAT partition for MS-DOS, Windows and Warp. The remaining part of the
drive is dedicated to a FreeBSD partition. Although I can write to the
MS-DOS partition from FreeBSD, the converse is not possible. Or is
it? Can something be written to read/write files off FreeBSD
filesystems while you are in MS-DOS? It's seems silly that I can
access the drive of another FreeBSD box over NFS, but not one that's in
the same computer...
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
