Hi All, I am having problems mounting a DOS drive under 2.1.5 . No matter what I type, I get the same error message: % /sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/wd2 /mnt msdos: mount: Invalid argument % /sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/wd2s1 /mnt msdos: mount: Invalid argument % /sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/wd2s1a /mnt msdos: mount: Invalid argument % /sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/wd2s1e /mnt msdos: mount: Invalid argument Yes, I am doing this as root. I did this fairly often on another machine that had 2.1.0 installed( 2 IDE drives, DOS on wd0, FreeBSD on wd1 ), but now it doesn't work. dmesg shows this during probe: wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <QUANTUM LPS540A> wd2: 516MB (1057280 sectors), 1120 cyls, 16 heads, 59 S/T, 512 B/S I have these devices in /dev: /dev/wd2 /dev/wd2e /dev/wd2s1a /dev/wd2s1f /dev/wd2s4 /dev/wd2a /dev/wd2f /dev/wd2s1b /dev/wd2s1g /dev/wd2b /dev/wd2g /dev/wd2s1c /dev/wd2s1h /dev/wd2c /dev/wd2h /dev/wd2s1d /dev/wd2s2 /dev/wd2d /dev/wd2s1 /dev/wd2s1e /dev/wd2s3 This drive has Win95 on it and is from another machine and I need to retrieve some files from it and the machines are not networked. The drive is jumpered as master and is on the second IDE connector on the motherboard by itself. The boot drive is SCSI. Does anyone have any suggestions?
