Date: 26 May 1997 15:29:58 GMT Organization: Sprint ANS Lines: 14 Message-ID: <01bc69ea$2cb73840$2e629a94@pads-laptop> NNTP-Posting-Host: ppp229.emeraldcoast.com X-Newsreader: Microsoft Internet News 4.70.1155 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:41631 I need to use mtools to transfer data back and forth between MS-DOG and FreeBSD disk partitions on a couple of systems. However, when I try to use a mtools routine like mdir I get the following error message: Cannot open /dev/sd0s1: Device not configured. The drives in question are 2.0 and 2.6 gig EIDE drives split equally between MS-DOG and FreeBSD 2.2.1. I already trashed one file system using mount -tmsdos. Any ideas? TIA, Alan Bindemann
