I need help to mount a dos partition on a FreeBSD 2.2.1 system. I have a
Seagate HD, 550megs, split in half. I need to mount the dos partition so
that I can copy over a tar archive to put onto another hard drive. I
tried 'mount_msdos /dev/wd0a /dos' and it says bad block dev. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
