Hi all!

I would like to mount my extended dos partitions (d: , e: ).

1)	# fdisk
   tells me

 	******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
	(...)
	The data for partition 4 is:
	sysid 15,(Extended DOS, LBA)
    	start 16338105, size 8193150 (4000 Meg), flag 0
		beg: cyl 1017/ sector 1/ head 0;
		end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254

2) In 	/dev	all devices from	ad0s4 to
   ad0s4h	are "made"

3) When I do
 	# mount_msdos /dev/ad0s4a /mnt
   (or any other ad0s4x) I get

mount_msdos: /dev/ad0s4a: Invalid argument

Which (probably stupid) mistake did I make?

Thanks for your answers!


Uli.
