The mount command needs the name of an existing directory you want to mount the filesystem to as the second parameter. I would guess that in your case you need to first cd / then type "mount_msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt" or if you really want to use the /mnt/wd0s1 directory, ensure it exists. > (I tried mount -t dos /dev/wd0s1 wd0s1 as well) should be mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 wd0s1 (if wd0s1 exists in your current working directory.) > > root@freebsd /mnt>fdisk /dev/wd0s1 > ******* Working on device /dev/wd0s1 ******* > parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: > cylinders=985 heads=16 sectors/track=52 (832 blks/cyl) > > parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: > cylinders=985 heads=16 sectors/track=52 (832 blks/cyl) > > Media sector size is 512 > Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 > Information from DOS bootblock is: > The data for partition 1 is: > <UNUSED> > The data for partition 2 is: > <UNUSED> > The data for partition 3 is: > <UNUSED> > The data for partition 4 is: > sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) > start 0, size 50000 (24 Meg), flag 80 (active) > beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0; > end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 255 > Regards, John -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Public key available from key server. iD8DBQE4uG1nxywzC575UaURAZVBAJ4peQczrCHwUcIcfSIrMigXxruzGQCg2ZhN hsk5OmJg20rhTE/Z1Bkz1Oc= =ivMi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
