(You could have asked that question without quoting most of the thread.) Anyway, I just wanted to guess that "vfstab" means "Virtual FileSystem TABle", which I think is an (optional?) feature of FreeBSD 5.0 (AKA CURRENT). It would probably be better for a beginner to run 4.6.2-RELEASE or maybe -STABLE, if possible. I agree that it sounds like "file $(which mount)" will indicate that "mount" is a script, but I don't know what to do with that info. As for grep: /etc/vfstab: No such file or directory grep: /etc/vfstab: No such file or directory mount: /dev/fd0: Device not configured We need someone who knows the virtual device scheme to know how /dev/fd0 would be created/supported/whatever. Or is /drives/fd the virtual device? The mount command want's that to be an existing directory. Is the virtual device configured by kernel build configuration, or boot-time, or device-need-time?
