The trouble is only that "/A" *does not exist*. If you type "ls /", to list all files in the root directory, you will see that /mnt does exist, while /A does not. That's why it works mounting things on /mnt, and not on /A. /mnt is just a common directory, and so should /A be. At least, that's the first answer I can think of :) -- Haavard Vaagstoel <havardjv@gudmund.vgs.no> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
