And how can I add support for the fs type? I'm not the one to answer this, but I don't think you CAN mount a Linux partition from FreeBSD, or vice versa. The FreeBSD partition type would be either ufs or 4.2BSD, though. > > And, problem number 2. I have a Iomega Zip drive (Paralelle SCSI). It is > very simple to get it working in Linux.

I'd guess you mean SCSI, you I think you'd just reference it like any other SCSI drive; as sd(whatever number). > Problem number 3.

Make sure that the permissions on /etc/resolv.conf are set so that everyone can read it. It should also contain your domain. Here's mine from my machine {~} root@mortis: %cat /etc/resolv.conf domain erols.com nameserver 205.252.116.62 {~} root@mortis: %ll /etc | grep resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 43 Sep 30 17:57 resolv.conf {~} root@mortis: % And there are the permissions, too. > I know these may seem like lame questions.
