It will be hard to help U. Anyway did U mounted msdos partition from fstab untill reallocated it? And did U change ur fstab after that? How did U allocate new 165 partition? Generally U might allocate all the dskspace on new partition to be one or to be splitted in several slices. How ur fstab reflects changes? Did U create new devices nodes in /dev? Did U created mount points for slices? caijj@trans.hk.hi.cn wrote: > Hi, gurus: > I had install win95 before installing FreeBSD 2.2.8 .
