First, determine which partition on which disk the DOS partition is on. Then, you can mount that device using mount -t MSDOS </dev/?> Sorry, I can't give more information, but I seem to have forgotten the device names for harddrives and I don't have access to any servers right now. Should be /dev/ad? or something similar. Also, you can insert an entry into fstab with roughly the same idea (following the fstab syntax, obviously) if you want it to automatically mount when you start in FBSD. --- Indrani Datta <drani_00@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello. > > I'm running FreeBSD 3.3 (I happened to have it on > disk) and have one question I couldn't find an > answer > to on the website. > > 1.
