But I don't see those entries under /dev and the mount command won't mount the partitions. When I first installed FreeBSD, I was able to get it to automatically mount wd0s1 (DOS drive C:, mounted to /mnt/msdos_c/), but it wouldn't accept any drives in the extended partition. Running FreeBSD 2.1.7 Release. Western Digital Caviar 2.5Gb EIDE HD (with LBA on, but I don't have any problems) I'm also running System Commander to boot Win95, DOS 6.22, WinNT 4, FreeBSD, but that shouldn't cause any problems. I have 4 partitions: 1 Primary DOS 402MB 2 Ext. DOS 1201MB D: 406MB E: 303MB F: 406MB G: 87MB 3 NTFS 370MB 4 Non-DOS (FreeBSD) 469MB Any ideas?
