What's the version of your FAT partition? FAT32 or FAT16? If it's FAT32, you need FreeBSD 2.2.7. The ccmmand would be: "mount -v -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos" to mount it or "mount -rv -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos" to mount it read-only (what I do to protect it from crash) "umount -v /dev/wd0s1" to unmount it. Edit /etc/fstab with something like that: "/dev/wd0s1 /dos msdos ro 0 0" And the permission are setted by the mount point, /dos in this case.
