The bootarea, pointed to by /dev/sdxsy is really another "partition table" which then points to the real bootarea. There seems to be code in the kernel to deal with with the extra level of indirection, but nothing at the mount_msdos level or /dev that I can find. Is this a project left unfinished, or did I miss something? - Frank \\\\////\\\\////\\\\\////\\\\\////\\\\////\\\\////\\\\////\\\\////\\\\////\\\\ Frank Terhaar-Yonkers High Performance Computing and Communications Research MCNC PO Box 12889 3021 Cornwallis Road Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709-2889 fty@mcnc.org voice (919)248-1417 FAX (919)248-1455 http://www.mcnc.org/HTML/ITD/ANT/HPCCResearch.html
