Date: 23 Feb 1996 10:00:46 GMT Organization: private-site Lines: 21 Distribution: world Message-ID: <JUERGEN.96Feb23110046@ipb9.rhein.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: ipb9.ipb.uni-bonn.de I read through the FreeBSD Handbook and the FAQ which came with my Walnut Creek FreeBSD CD Rom January '96 but I somehow was not able to come up with a definitive answer how to mount the first partition on my first IDE disk, which happens to be a "big" (>=32M,it says) DOS partition. I would like to auto-mount this partition at boot-time. As I have just switched from Linux where I adhered to this scheme to FreeBSD which seems to handle the mounting of drives a little bit different (how do I actually find out which device has been allocated to the DOS partition ? fdisk does not seem to proivide this information ?) I would like to get some hints from someone who has solved this beginners' problem.
