You want to enable UFS filesystem support, and in the disklabels section of your 'make menuconfig' you should also enable at least the BSD disklabels. Then at boot you will see except for the /dev/hda1 stuff, a list of the disklabels recognized by your linux kernel. You should be able to mount the filesystems with something like: mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd DISKLABEL /mnt > Also when freebsd supports the adaptec 1522, which the 3.1 and 3.2 notes > indicate will happen "in the future", how can I mount the linux partitions > under freebsd? You enable the EXT2FS filesystem in your kernel configuration. Then use the device of the 'slice' (what linux calls partition), certainly not a disklabel, as the mount device, i.e.: # mount -t ext2fs /dev/sd0s1 /mnt Enjoy, -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "That field hath eyen, and the wood hath ears."
