Well, hm this is even in the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/admin.html#MOUNT-DOS (Question 7.8: How do I mount a secondary DOS partition?) In your situation I would try ad0s5 and onwards. If you do not have the device node under /dev, so create it:-) (No worries I have also forgotten how to do such mounts on occasion before:-) -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
