Any idea what >that might translate to in FreeBSD? This slice thing is a bit foreign to >me. (Never figured it out in Solaris either.) FreeBSD 2.2.6 doesn't support vfat natively...just use vmount which does.(Make a search trough FTPSearch and get the 'b' release ) I myself was a Linux user and your partitions should be /dev/wd0s3 and /dev/wd0s5 . It is simple: hda is first ide disk on Linux and /dev/wd0 is first ide disk on FreeBSD /dev/hdaX is partition X on that disk and /dev/wd0sX is slice X on that drive according to FreeBSD.
