hi martin, the way you are mounting your logical partition i assume is wrong, as that you have to supply the slice number on your disk.... if FreeBSD and the C: Partition are primary, and D: is logical, i.e. under and extended partition, D: should be /dev/ad0s3, or 4. The rule is... you cannot just simply say ad0 to mount and it will complete your request because you havent supplied which partition you want to mount, i.e ad0 is the whole disk. Also... logical partitions, are same as any other partitions (mounting wise), as i am telling you this because i have 4 logical partitions, and 4 primary. so... an example mount command would be... mount -tmsdos /dev/ad0s3 /tmp Thats should solve the problem.. ah! and if you can't find the mount number as in s<x>, than just type ls /dev/ | grep ad0s and it will show you all the entries... thanks... ===== regards, Hiten Pandya <hitmaster2k@yahoo.com> <http://geocities.com/hitmaster2k>; MOTD: I just like _pumping_ the daylights out of a PENGUIN!!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
