I'm fairly sure that as long as the kernel in question has the MSDOS option enabled, and you have mount_msdos, you should be able to mount any FAT16 or FAT32 partition on your system. I'm not sure about logical drives inside extended DOS patitions, perhaps someone else could clarify that, or check the freebsd-questions archive, I know it has been discussed before. -- Chip Marshall http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ Geek code available via finger PGP key available on my web page On IRC via EFnet as Magus To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
