I would set the second IDE disk as master or "only-drive" on the second IDE channel with no slave device (check drive jumpering manual specs) to trouble-shoot this problem. Also have you created your mount point? (ls -la /mnt/fat32) And as Chris Faulhaber asked > What does 'fdisk ad1' show? Regards, Stephen Hilton Dan Larsson wrote: > > On Thu, 6 Sep 2001, Robin P.
