Hi there, I'm not subscribed to this list anymore, so would appreciate a CC to me of any responses. I've installed FreeBSD on one patition on my laptop (just one internal drive) I fdisk'ed it from within freebsd, and created a 500MB DOS partition there (enough for windows 95) - which all works jolly well and good, the boot loader asks me which I want, and both boot hunky-dory with no problems! The problem comes when I try and mount the MSDOS partition from unix, I get a silly error message, to which I could find none in the archives of these lists at http://www.uk.freebsd.org/search The problem I get is documented below: root@attack>mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s2 /windows msdos: vfsload (msdos): No such file or directory Yes the windows directory does exist... There was a similar problem in the archive regarding ex2fs, which said support wasn't installed in the kernel, but I do have support for MSDOSFS... Any help would be muchly appreciated... I'm running FreeBSD3.3-RELEASE - just installed yesterday, and spent all night scratching my head over this! Hopefully someone could give me a hand! - I'd be vewwy grateful! :) Thanks for listening, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Adam Ford adam@fordys.net http://www.fordys.net ----------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
