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 -- ---------- Deborah Gronke Bennett (WD5HJH) kernel and device drivers engineer deborah@microunity.com (408)-734-8100 MicroUnity Systems Eng., 255 Caspian Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1015 USA
