Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 15 Jun 1998 19:40:38 -0400 From: Robert Withrow Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG marcus@miami.edu said: :- Yes, there is a fips 1.5c that recognizes FAT32. It's in the tools :- directory on ftp.freebsd.org. The exact path is: :- ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/fips15c.tar.gz Thank you. This version seems to work fine with three caveats: 1) After fips is done doing its thing, command.com tries to restart and gets an "out of memory" error, and the (dos) system halts. This is using a floppy made from a W95 system. This doesn't seem to harm anything. 2) Booteasy (from 2.2.6 R) shows "???" for the resulting DOS partition. This can probably be fixed by using a newer booteasy. It boots both partitions just fine though. 3) 2.2.6 R can't mount the fat32 partition. This can probably be fixed by using -stable or applying some patches. I'll check around for solutions to 2 and 3. I'll try to inform the fips developer about 1. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, R.W.
