Here are the entries that I have in my /etc/fstab: /dev/ad0s1 /windows/C ntfs ro 2 0 /dev/ad0s3 /windows/E msdosfs rw 0 0 (You don't need the "2", it can be "0") You need to create the directories for the mount points (/windows/C and /windows/E). The partition in /dev/ad0s3 is my FAT32 partition which is the writable one - you don't want the ntfs filesystem to be writable.....if you want the FAT32 (msdosfs) parition to be writeable, then /windows/E must be a writable mount directory. You of course, should use your own device (/dev/ad0s*) names as they are going to be different from mine. Once you have these in your /etc/fstab they will automatically mount on boot (as configured this way). If you don't want to reboot after editing the file, you can always just do a : > mount /windows/E To manually mount...or > umount /windows/E to umount it. The configuration I have just described is how I wanted to set it up on my system, but others may have different opinions/setups. Good luck. -Kevin
