well, i have send the details of my problem on a few lists some days ago
but i got no answer. this is why i only put this little informative
message this time.
this was my post:
___
hello,
since i get no answer in fr.comp.os.bsd,
freebsd-questions@freebsd-fr.org
, and freebsd-questions@freebsd.org , i'm trying here now, hoping i'm
not too off-charter.
i can't mount my floppy disk and my Win98 hard disk.
i tape: # mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s1 /hdibm
or: # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /floppy
(or with ad0c, fd0c, ...)
and i get "Bus error" and a core file.
my bootable Win98 disk (only 1 partition - FAT32, 12.6 Go) is
connected in master to the primary IDE.
my floppy is a classic 1.44 Mo and i want to read MSDOS formated
floppies.
of course i have the 2 special files in /dev, and i created the mount
directories.
i have access to these disks with fsck_msdosfs or disklabel.
i followed all the procedure to format and mount a new MSDOS
floppy disk but i always have this error.
i haven't these problems with my CDROM and my bootable FreeBSD
disk.
for information i can get the same error when i try to mount one of
my FreeBSD partition as a MSDOS partition
( # mount -t msdos /dev/ad3s1g /tmp ).
(i'm under FreeBSD 4.7)
does somebody know how to resolve this problem?
thank you!
___
when i try to mount a msdos partition with sysinstall-Label (i talk
about 4.7 again) i get:
"Segmentation fault (core dumped) or devtype -
# DEBUG: MakeDev: Unknown major/minor"
and i get out of sysinstall.
now with 5.0 and extended partitions:
i created with fdisk or PartitionMagic a FAT16 primary partition (type
6) and an extented partition (type 15). inside this extented partition i
created FAT32 logicals partitions (type 11). i installed Win98 on
these.
then i installed FreeBSD on my 2nd disk. in sysinstall-Fdisk, FreeBSD
show my extented partition (ad0s2) but not my logicals partitions. in
sysintall-label, it don't show my extented partition.
for example i have:
Part Mount Size Newfs
---- ---- ---- -----
ad0s1 <none> 509MB DOS
ad1s1a <none> 256MB *
ad1s1b swap 496MB SWAP
ad1s1e <none> 256MB *
ad1s1f <none> 256MB *
ad1s1g <none> 3224MB *
(a -> /; e -> /var; f -> /tmp; g -> /usr)
in /dev, i have ad0s2.
