My system goes the other way - boot from wd1 (all FreeBSD), and I mount dos from wd0. I just did a mount_msdos /dev/wd0e /dos, and it worked. I *think* it was partition (slice?) e; it may have been f. It's definitely not a. Somewhere in one of the FAQs it says the last four partition letters are used for an all-DOS drive; it was the first of these last four. Sorry, but if I could get my INTERNAL MODEM working, I'd call in and check for sure. My wd0 drive has two partitions; C: and D: in dos. I can only see C:. Mounting wd0f doesn't seem to work. Has anyone successfully mounted the second have of a partitioned DOS drive? John Finley jfinley@netcom.com
