Here's my setup: /dev/sd0s1 - Primary DOS partition /dev/sd0s2 - Extended DOS partition /dev/sd0s3b - FreeBSD swap /dev/sd1s1a - FreeBSD / /dev/sd1s2b - FreeBSD secondary swap /dev/sd1s3c - FreeBSD /usr I can mount /dev/sd0s1 into FreeBSD with no problems, but mounting /dev/sd0s2 ALWAYS generates an error message about an "invalid argument". I've tried both mount and mount_msdos commands, the target BSD directory does exist. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks, kevin hendrix@beauty1.phy.olemiss.edu
