Jakob Alvermark: |FreeBSD is supposed to support mounting of dospartitions, primary as well |as extended. I can mount my primary dos partition, it works great. But |how do I mount the second, extended partition? I think it works when you |have all partitions on the same disk, but that's not the case here. I |have one SCSI-disk with FreeBSD 2.1.6R, and a second disk with two dos |partitions, primary and extended. I can mount the first dos partition, |but not the second one. |So, my question is: Is there any way for me to mount the extended dos |partition on the second disk? I've not subscribed to this list, so I |would be glad if send answers directly to me. Consider subscribing to the list and auto-filtering list mail into a file folder. You pick up a lot of useful info that way. See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook19.html#21. Adapting to your particular problem: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV sd1s5 mkdir /dos_d mount -t msdos /dev/sd1s5 /dos_d Works for me at least, though I'm running 2 IDEs and primary/extended DOS partitions on both drives.
