Are you saying you have an MSDOS filesystem, on a TAPE drive? I think mount access to tapes went away long ago; no-one ever used it. Or do you just want to be able to read/write the tape? If the latter, just use /dev/nrsa0: "tar cvf /dev/nrsa0 /usr", or "dump 0auf /dev/nrsa0 /usr". -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
