Hello !
I'm a new user to FreeBSD, so be carefull - maybe this is a dumb question !
In order to install FreeBSD 2.1.6, I splitted my Primary DOS Partition on drive
C with
the fips util. Then I used the Novice Installation on the new partition and
everything just worked without any problems ! I even managed to compile a new
kernel on the first try - like you described it in the manual !
The splitted DOS partition C is read/write -able without problems.
The problem now is: I cannot mount my extended DOS partitions drives D and E:
(with the GENERIC and my own kernel build) the command looks like
[root]# mount -t msdos /dev/wd1s1 /dos_d
msdos: mount: Invalid argument
My setup:
primary IDE controller: master 540MB Quantum LPS540A
DOS 220MB C: wd0s1
BSD 300MB wd0s2
slave 2GB Maxtor 72004 AP
DOS 950MB D: wd1s1
DOS 950MB E: wd1s2
secondary IDE controller: not used
When the 'mount' is issued, the drive access indicator flashes an you can
hear the drive being accessed. So why do I get the above error message ?
Can anybody help me, please ?!?

Peter
