At Wed, 25 Sep 2002 it looks like Simon Dick composed: > As root: > cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV ad8 > > Thanks for the quick reply, I've created the device(s) and they of course created other variables of /dev/ad8* ad8 ad8b ad8d ad8f ad8h ad8s1a ad8s1c ad8s1e ad8s1g ad8s2 ad8s4 ad8a ad8c ad8e ad8g ad8s1 ad8s1b ad8s1d ad8s1f ad8s1h ad8s3 I had to manually use the commad: mount_msdos /dev/ad8s1 /mnt/travelstar instead of just mount /dev/ad8s1 /mnt/travelstar for in reading the manpage for "mount" it stated that "mount" would in fact try all the other versions of mount but apparently missed the msdos one.
