I'm using the PCFS supplied by patchkit - 0.2.3 and ran into the following
troubles:

a) if I insert an unformatted disk (that would cause a 'general failure'
   under DOS) and do a 'mount -t pcfs /dev/fd0a /mnt' I get an error
   message. But if I repeat the step above the system silently crashes
   or I get a vm_fault type c, trap type 12.

b) I tried to use the pcfs on my harddisk. I added the option 'HDSUPPORT'
   and had to fix some problems in pcfs_vfsops.c. The kernel compiled fine.
   I changed my disklabel to include a 'MSDOS' partition, but I still
   get these 'invalid argument' error message.

Has anybody fixes for these problemes ?

       regards,
       		Jan-Oliver
