Date: 20 May 1995 18:39:06 GMT Organization: U. C. Berkeley Open Computing Facility Lines: 23 Message-ID: <3pld0a$e7j@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: maelstrom-ether.berkeley.edu I installed FreeBSD 2.0R on my (third) SCSI disk. My other two IDE drives have FAT partitions, with no free space. During the install I attempted to set a /dos mount point, but FreeBSD said to '(W)rite changes' (as if I had created partitions). When I pressed W, the system rebooted. So, I don't have any msdos mountpoints. How can I mount the other two DOS drives? Or for that matter, how do I mount DOS floppies? mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt responds with 'bad parameter' or similar, as does mount -t msdos /dev/wd0a /mnt. -Geordan -- +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ |Geordan Rosario.
