Due to the way that my hard drive was set up when I originally set up the computer I have a large ext2fs file system on the end of my 17gig maxtor harddrive that was set up to handle data when I used to run linux. Now that is the only place that I have enough room to put complete iso images onto. When I try to mount it with the command: vnconfig vn0c /mnt/linux.ro/usr/media/freebsd/4.0-install.iso I get the error message : vnconfig: open: No such file or directory And when I try this command vnconfig /dev/vn0c /mnt/linux.ro/usr/media/freebsd/4.0-install.iso I get this error vnconfig: open: Device not configured Im running 3.4 release with the kernel recompile for ext2fs filesystem support and the line: pseudo-device vn 4 #Vnode driver (turns a file into a device) Is there a limitation to the vn device that it can only mount from a ufs filesystem or am I just doing something wrong when I try to mount the image? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
