The device file for partition 1 on your second SCSI drive is /dev/sd1s1. So, mount -t msdos /dev/sd1s1 /dosdrv should do the trick. Have you tried booting DOS from your second drive? DOS (as far as I know) can only boot from your first drive, so unless you've got a small partition (DOS) on your first drive or you boot DOS from floppy, then you're not going to be able to boot DOS without changing your configuration. If anyone else knows how to boot DOS from your second drive, I'd be interested in knowing too :). Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
