This isn't critical from the DOS installation code since it doesn't use msdosfs, it uses stand-alone DOSFS parsing code in sysinstall. Unfortunately, the corner case here is the floppy mount code which tries UFS then MSDOSFS as a mount type - it doesn't go through the stand-alone stuff. Hmmmm. Is this really critical, or can you put your config file on a UFS formatted floppy? - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
