Try editing the disklabel with `disklabel -r -e ' and tweaking the starting address of the secondary partition by adding the number of sectors/track. This should allow you to mount it. Secondary partitions have extra stuff at the beginning that confuses msdosfs. > Also, how do I get the drives to mount automatically? Once you have this, you can put an entry in /etc/fstab for it, no problem. > Also, any help with mounting other types of file systems like HPFS, > or NTFS? NTFS and HPFS are not currently supported.
