To: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org Date: Fri, 28 Apr 1995 21:14:13 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 613 Sender: current-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hey all. I'm currently running the April snapshot (both kernel and binaries). I just supped and compiled the -current kernel and all hell broke loose when trying to mount my disks. I understand that some changes have been made in the abilities to mount disks under -current (including ability to mount extended DOS partitions...can someone confirm?) At any rate, what -current binaries am I going to need to update the boot code to mount my disks correctly again, and what is the easiest way to write the new partition information without wiping out my current partitions? Cheers, -Wes wsantee@wsantee.oz.net
