I have limited resorces no fdisk or utilities such as df,mount,mount_msdos,mount_ext2fs, mount_cd9660. All of these give similar responses. I still have no HD access. Some of us use mail readers that expect standard messages which don't require reformatting. Please keep your new paragraphs <= 70 columns and expect >78 columns to require your readers to scroll horizontally. If you're going to use a msdos FS, then I suppose you'll need to ensure that your picoBSD build includes the necessary msdosfs and other tools. IIRC, you tell it what to include and it stuffs them all into one big, but crunched, executable, etc. (My picoBSD box doesn't have a HD, so I haven't had many HD problems. :)
