Back in the bad old days of expensive disks, I partitioned a one gig drive for DOS and FreeBSD. After adding a second FreeBSD drive, I used the FreeBSD partition on the first drive for Win95. This all works fine. The problem is that I can't mount the Win95 partions under FreeBSD. When I look at the disklable, FreeBSD still thinks it is a unix disk. The bottom line is, it won't mount as a DOS drive because it is seen a unix disk and, of course, it won't mount as a unix drive with the "bad super block" error. The boot probe complains bitterly about this also. So, is there a way to re-lable the Win95 partition to be a DOS disk without destroying the data on it? Alternitively, is there a way to force mount to ignore the partition label? Ron Steele
