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 ?!? -- Ciao, Peter =========================================================================== = Peter Kipfer prkipfer@immd9.informatik.uni-erlangen.de = = Flurstrasse 9c http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/user/prkipfer = = 91217 Hersbruck = = Germany --> ThisMessage extends MyOpinion throws AnyException = ===========================================================================
