I tried to mount Windows 95 partition and failed. I proceeded as following : the hard disk has the following structure : partition OS sysid size wd0s1 Windows 95 (FAT 32) 11 936 Mo wd0s2 FreeBSD 165 (a5) 1 Go wd0s3 Windows 95 (FAT 16) 15 (5) 4 Mo wd0s4 ?? 160 80 Mo I tried first : mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos and got a crash. I realised after that BSD doesn't support FAT 32 then I tried mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s3 /dos and got the following message : "mount: msdos: wd0s3 invalid device" I went back to Win 95 and installed the filesystem (Win 95) on this partition but I got the same message when I tried again to mount it. Why can I not mount this partition ? What is the purpose of wd0s4 (unknown OS) which uses 80 Mo ? Thank in advance for any help / advise .
