It was enough along with a tip I read on the freebsd page to help me find the problem. I have two IDE drives in the system. The first is on the primary IDE bus with WIN95 and FREEBSD. There is a CDROM as a slave off this drive. The next IDE disk is on the secondary IDE bus by itself. It has an extended DOS partition on it and shows up as drive D: under DOS. BSD sees this disk as wd2. The problem turned out to be that there was no device file in /dev for wd2s5. There was a wd2s1 wd2s2 wd2s3 wd2s4. So I used the MAKEDEV command and created wd2s5 and voila I could mount the DOS partition. Thanks, -- Tom :) ------ Thomas D.
