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? -- WBW Andy V.
