Hi there,
I am trying to mount an MSDOS partition in order to copy some of the
distribution files onto it as I will be using it while setting up some
FreeBSD displays for a computer store. However, I got the following error
in sysinstall (when I have it look for packages on that disk) and when I try
to manually mount it.
Please advise,
-Chris England
