(The same exact things happens when mounting the floppy) FWIW - I used the info in the freebsd.org manual on setting the mounts to be useable by the user (me) as well as root. The above messages are from trying to mount as root. -- Chip W. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
