JA> I have Win95 installed in my computer, but I'm booting the system from

JW>The latter is unimportant -- but Win95 certainly is.  I assume you're

JW>filesystem code is not yet up to this.

I Formated my hard drive and only installed dos 6.22 and have removed
Windows 95 complety from my system and again I get the same error message. 

            Error mounting /dev/wd1s2 on /dos: invalid argument (22)

JW>Good news: FreeBSD 2.2 doesn't use the msdosfs for installation, but a
JW>private library instead.  This should at least allow installing from a
JW>VFAT filesystem, even though you still can't mount it in Unix
JW>afterwards (but the mtools package can export or import files there).

Should I download FreeBSD 2.2? I'm a beginger to Unix is 2.2 stable enough
for me to pratic on? I'm wanting to start up my own ISP using BSD it was a
recomendation for the ISP now he runs it and I have gotten use to it.

Thanks Joe
