I installed the i386 version & all is fine.. so it seems to be the amd64 version that has trouble with non-UFS/UFS2 partitions. For the people on the amd64 mailing list.. has anyone ran into where copying/moving/creating files to/on a MSDOS partition results in the filename being renamed to where the last character of the filename is added twice? example: cp /etc/rc.conf /msdos (would end up as 'rc.conff' in /msdos) then.. if you tried to rename it back to rc.conf in /msdos.. it would say the file already exists when it doesn't.
