Here's the situation.. I am running (even as we speak) Release 2.1.0
I was in the process of installing via ftp, (custom install) and was
up to the commerce package... I then attempted to mount_msdos in the 
alt-F4 terminal and crashed out the system.... I really don't want to 
reinstall the whole lot, and I understand that there's a way to resume

please email me at jpw687@the.link.ca or post a followup.

also there's the question of what I am doing wrong in the mount
command.. I tried mount_msdos /dev/wd1 /Dos and got invalid option

when I went to root and used mount_msdos /dev/wd1 Dos
it said something about relative paths and then printed using
//Dos followed by the invalid option error.. please advise..

TIA
