Hi, primarily, I'm having difficulty mounting my floppy drive, fd0. What line would I have to add to /etc/fstab to do this? Shouldn't it be: /dev/fd0 /A ufs rw 2 2 where these entries have been spaced apart to reflect the column structure of this file. I say this because the device entry I thought should be for the actual device and not for the controller (as in the cdrom's case), like the IDE harddrive partition entries in this file. Also the filesystem column for my cdrom in this file is for the cdrom controller and not for IDE cdrom which I have. Isn't this unusual? I mean given the above statement shouldn't this be the actual device (/dev/wcd0 in this case). And why is there a "c" at the end of this controller - I never knew controllers had unix partitions. My last point on cdroms is that if I'm to correctly access this device (cdrom) under fbsd (ie. mount/umount) then should I not have an entry "ro,auto" under the access type column for the cdrom in /etc/fstab. Because if I had just ro, I'm thinking this may cause probs.?!? Finally, I currently have a read-only /dos mountpoint point on my fbsd installation so that I can access my Windows files. Now is it possible for me to have r/w access to this filesystem - if not why not(though I probably know what the answer is going to be here)? I've heard that under linux it is possible to have a Windows icon on your Linux desktop that enables you to open Windows while running Linux, with a simple click (without the need for rebooting). I know that you guys are working on Windows emulation but is it possible to have one of these. If not, then I su[ppose I could always get this icon and run it under a Linux emulator session. That's it. Cheers, Ghulam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
