   Can anyone please tell me how to mount a dos drive to be accessable
   under freeBSD?

   I cant get the mount command to work, and man is not helpfull
   (I don't know what I'm doing)

I'm using FreeBSD 2.0.5 on a pentium system.
My /etc/fstab contains this line:
/dev/sd0s1                      /msdos          msdos   rw 0 0

My dos partition is in the first slice at the beginning of my
only (SCSI) disk.

Presumably the corresponding mount command would be something
like 'mount -o msdos /dev/sd0s1 /msdos' (where /msdos would have to exist).

Hope this helps,
-deborah bennett
