FreeBSD 2.1.5 is installed over the third drive (1.3) , When I mounting the DOS partitons under BSD (mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt) I'm getting some king of an error (multi somthing in the root directory ..kernal error) though the file system get's mounted , If I try to copy a file from dos to BSD (going into mnt dir then coping the file) the system crash ,and I HAVE TO REINSTALL FREEBSD !! I once made a little 300mgb dos partition (under the first hard drive) and this partition was mounted with no problems ... Is there a known problem for BSD to mount dos Partitions (or large BIG FAT partitions ) ??? Thanks Eitan
