I've only used freebsd for about one week, so I don't really know, but I had something similar happen with ext2 partitions because I didn't have ext2fs support in the kernel, so first thing I'd check is if msdosfs support is in your kernel. (Kernel compiling instructions are in the freebsd handbook.) Of course, there's all the basics, too. Having /sbin in your path, having the mount_msdos file there, having the /mnt directory with proper permissions, having the /dev/fd0 device file, having /dev/fd0 configured properly in the running kernel, ... You are trying this when logged in as root, I trust. -- David dstern@u.washington.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
