I've tried every kind of mount command (mount_msdos, mount, etc) and every kind of option or options. I even included /mnt in the command. Nothing works. I am not using anything in the fstab file for this mount. 5 years ago, it was working perfectly on my computer.

For me, mounting ntfs, the command 'mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt' works. So should in your case the command: mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s1 /mnt do it. As i can see, you've build your custom kernel. Have a look whether you have included the line: options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem in your configuration file. hth georg
