I'm not the one to answer this, but I don't think you CAN mount a Linux
partition from FreeBSD, or vice versa. The FreeBSD partition type would
be either ufs or 4.2BSD, though.

Is it parallel or is it SCSI; they're 2 different interfaces. I'd guess
you mean SCSI, you I think you'd just reference it like any other SCSI
drive; as sd(whatever number).

Make sure that the permissions on /etc/resolv.conf are set so that
everyone can read it. It should also contain your domain. Here's mine
from my machine
{~} root@mortis: %cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain erols.com
nameserver 205.252.116.62
{~} root@mortis: %ll /etc | grep resolv.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 43 Sep 30 17:57 resolv.conf
{~} root@mortis: %
And there are the permissions, too.

That's what this list is here for; we were all there once, and you should
have seen some of MY first questions... ;)
