To mount the ntfs partition, tell it to use the entire slice, ie /dev/ad0s3c. As for the floppy, you can't mount it without there being a floppy disk in the drive, which is usually not true after boot. Floppies are usually mounted only when you need to use it, then unmounted shortly afterwards. Comment out /dev/fd0 and rather mount it manually when needed. -- :{ andyf@speednet.com.au Andy Farkas System Administrator Speednet Communications http://www.speednet.com.au/
