Date: 25 Apr 1996 19:10:01 GMT Organization: SDSU Lines: 17 Message-ID: <4loimn$pi0@ganesh.sdstate.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: adm119-5.sdstate.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.93.14 Recently I have been trying to mount my DOS partition (which is on partition one of my second HD-FreeBSD is on partition 2 of the same hard drive). Being unable to mount a DOS hard drive, but able to mount a floppy, someone told me that if I run a `sh MAKEDEV wd1' that it might fix the problem of not reading my MS-DOS partitions. It didn't fix the problem. It made things worse. Now when FreeBSD 2.1 boots, it can't mount the /dev/wd1aXXX partitions! That includes the swap, proc and /usr stuff, so I can't get any man pages up. I can run mount, fdisk, etc, and sh MAKEDEV didn't help again. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this??? Would fdisk help? Thanks-Dave Hartzell
