FreeBSD is installed on a partition of it's own type. The support that is in 3.0 is for the mounting of existing FAT32 partitions.

A quick search of the -questions archive should turn something up. -===================================================================- Jeremy Shaffner JORSM Internet Senior Technical Support Northwest Indiana's Premium jer@jorsm.com Internet Service Provider support@jorsm.com http://www.jorsm.com -===================================================================- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
