I mounted the primary one ( /dev/wd0s1) but when I try to mount wd0s2 ( which I know is the extended one), I get : mount_msdos : /dev/wd0s2 : Invalid argument (btw, wd0s2 is in /dev, sysinstall partition editor sees it, but the label editor doesn't) I've done this a zilion times and it used to be in my fstab as well, but obviously I did something silly :-| The trouble is => I have to use dos/windoze :-( Thanks Pierre -- P. van Leeuwen Electronic Engineer Powered by FreeBSD Nanoteq (Pty) Ltd Specialists in Data Security Ph : +27 (0)12 665-1338 E-mail : pvl@nanoteq.com
