X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was wondering which file controls what is mounted at boot time. I'd like to delete the line that automatically mounts my bootable Windows 95 partition. At the time I created the file system, I thought I wanted to always have that partition mounted, but since the FreeBSD kernel support for Windows 95 file system is less than what I'd have it be. I've decided to use mtools to access that partition. To use mtools to access that section of the disk, I always have to umount it from the file system. I know I can re-install FreeBSD to correct this miscalculation, but I thought someone out there knew a less drastic measure. I will be greatly appreciative if someone can help toward an intelligent solution. Thank you for time and effort. James F.
