My computer crashed, so I decided to try FreeBSD because I have been reading about it a lot and I thought it would be fun. Well, it is fun, but I tried to reinstall win95 and it messed up the OS loader. Can anybody help me here? My other problem is . . . I can't mount the ms-dos partition of my harddrive. I type in mount -t msdosfs /dev/wd0 /msdos and it tells me mount: exec /usr/sbin/mount_msdosfs for /msdos: No such file or directory I assume that this means that I don't have the file mount_msdosfs. Where can I get it? I am a 100% newbie to BSD so be gentle, please . Thanks in advance . . . Ben Vaughan
