Although it has a slice number you can't do anything with it ('cept delete it I guess). # mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s5 /mnt/DOSD will mount the first FAT "logical drive" in the extended partition, # mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s6 /mnt/DOSE the second etc. Note, you may have to make the device nodes: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV wd0s5 # ./MAKEDEV wd0s6 etc. HTH > -- > * David Abdemoulaie > * ICQ - 21360590 > * mailto:DAcash18@vt.edu > > (c)copyright 1998 by David Abdemoulaie.
