I did upgrade the mount utilities as well, but the 2.1 kernel fails to mount the dos partition. Manually invoking mount_msdos reports: # mount_msdos /dev/sd0f /dos mount_msdos: mount: Invalid argument # When the kernel boots, the 2.1 kernel (but not the 2.0.5 kernel) reports: Jan 8 18:15:06 armidale kernel: changing root device to sd0a Jan 8 18:15:06 armidale kernel: sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice Jan 8 18:15:06 armidale kernel: sd0: start 528384, end 1056767, size 528384 Jan 8 18:15:06 armidale kernel: sd0d: start 0, end 1057615, size 1057616 Jan 8 18:15:06 armidale kernel: sd0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice Jan 8 18:15:06 armidale kernel: sd0f: start 32, end 528383, size 528352 What do I need to do to get the dos partition mounted under the new kernel? Thanks, Dave Thaler
