* Tim McMillen <timcm@umich.edu> [20001208 11:39]: writing on the subject 'vnconfig question' => => => Hi, I am trying to access an image that I made of a small hard =>drive. I made it pretty simply with dd if=/dev/ad1 of=file =>I can get vnconfig working fine with an iso, but I try somethig similiar =>with my image and I get this output and error: =>tim# ls =>maxtorbackup =>tim# vnconfig vn0c ./maxtorbackup =>tim# mount_msdos /dev/vn0c /mnt =>mount_msdos: /dev/vn0c: Invalid argument => => The disk was msdos ver 6 and mounting it worked correctly so I =>figured this would too. I read the manpage and can't see where I am going =>wrong. Did I need certain options to dd when I made the image to get this =>to work? Help would be greatly appreciated. I think that that being an iso image you cannot mount it as an msdos file systems. I am not sure though but from what I did with dd, I wrote a floppy image to filename.bin and it worked fine. Someone else might have a better idea I've always gone this way with an ISO image....and I thought filename.bin is more of an iso image => => Tim => => => =>To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org =>with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KE.
