Hi, I have tried to copy a CD image from the cd0 dev to an IDE disk, msdos formated. The disk had a large dos partition (about 1GB), and when I mounted it with: mount -t msdos /dev/wd0 /mnt kernel said that something is wrong, but I didn't pay attention... when i started to dump the cd image on it the machine restarted (or crashed) and after booting the root slice was seriously damaged. I think Microsoft have used another secret about their msdos fs for larger disk support. Thanks, ian.
