I love it, it faster that my linux system. Coming from linux I have some fstab questions. When I place: /dev/fd0 /floppy msdos rw 0 0 in fstab tries to mount the floppy on boot even if there is none in there. Linux never did this, how do I make an fstab entry that will not automount the floppy. Also, I have 2 linux partitions that I'd like to mount. I have tried an fstab entrys of: /dev/wd1s1b /linux ext2fs rw 1 1 and /dev/wd1s1b /linux ext2fs rw 1 1 and /dev/wd1s2b /linux ext2fs rw 1 1 Now my linux partitions are on the 2 disk on my primary controller, but so are my FreeBSD partitions and they are all /dev/wd1s1f etc (which I'm not quite understanding yet?) But all they above give me does not exist errors. The directory exists I made that, I saw the mount_ext2fs command in /sbin (i believe), so what doesn't exist? Or just what I'm I doing wrong!?
