(i'm under FreeBSD 4.7) does somebody know how to resolve this problem? thank you! ___ when i try to mount a msdos partition with sysinstall-Label (i talk about 4.7 again) i get: "Segmentation fault (core dumped) or devtype - # DEBUG: MakeDev: Unknown major/minor" and i get out of sysinstall. now with 5.0 and extended partitions: i created with fdisk or PartitionMagic a FAT16 primary partition (type 6) and an extented partition (type 15). inside this extented partition i created FAT32 logicals partitions (type 11). i installed Win98 on these. then i installed FreeBSD on my 2nd disk. in sysinstall-Fdisk, FreeBSD show my extented partition (ad0s2) but not my logicals partitions. in sysintall-label, it don't show my extented partition. for example i have: Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ---- ---- ----- ad0s1 509MB DOS ad1s1a 256MB * ad1s1b swap 496MB SWAP ad1s1e 256MB * ad1s1f 256MB * ad1s1g 3224MB * (a -> /; e -> /var; f -> /tmp; g -> /usr) in /dev, i have ad0s2.
