Maybe you are not using the right name ? DOS extended partitions are mapped starting from ad0s5 on. If you include something like what follows in your /etc/fstab (depending on the drives/slices you have ) you should be able to mount them with # mount /dos # mount /E /etc/fstab: /dev/ad0s5 /dos msdos rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/ad0s6 /E msdos rw,noauto 0 0 > thx in advance, HTH > > ivan Manuel Garcia To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
