Hi, everybody,
2 years ago when using 2.1.5-R I was failed mounting EDOS.
I gave up then. But now I need it again strickty:(
As said in FAQ:
The secondary DOS partitions are found after ALL the primary partitions.
For example, if you have an "E" partition as the second DOS partition on
the second SCSI drive, you need to create the special files for "slice
5" in /dev, then
mount /dev/sd1s5:

        # cd /dev
        # ./MAKEDEV sd1s5
        # mount -t msdos /dev/sd1s5 /dos/e
In my case it's "D" on wd0 e.g. /dev/wd0s4 'cos
there are Primary DOS part at /dev/wd0s1 (mounted w/o prob),
FreeBSD at /dev/wd0s3 (btw Fdisk partition editor sais that
EDOS resides at /dev/wd0s2?).
Anyway mounting it  either wd0s4 or wd0s2 sais:
  volodya# mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s4 /mnt
  mountmsdosfs(): bad signature
  msdos: /dev/wd0s4: Invalid argument
  volodya# Apr 28 11:24:36 volodya /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): bad
signature
  Apr 28 11:24:36 volodya /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): bad signature
  volodya# mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s2 /mnt
  mountmsdosfs(): bad bpb
  msdos: /dev/wd0s2: Invalid argument
  volodya# Apr 28 11:24:50 volodya /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): bad bpb
  Apr 28 11:24:50 volodya /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): bad bpb
  volodya#
What I do wrong?
