I proposed a solution sometime ago, notify me if it's not the place to add something to the FAQ: --------- Q: Can FreeBSD read FAT32 partitions? A: Yes it can, the 2.2.7 and 3.x versions of the FreeBSD Operating System support it. Assuming that wd0s1 is your first FAT32 partition, you can execute the mount command has root: "# mkdir /dos" "# chmod 770 /dos" "# mount -v -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos" or read only: "# mount -rv -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos" or add it in the /etc/fstab file: "/dev/wd0s1 /dos msdos rw 0 0" or read only: "/dev/wd0s1 /dos msdos ro 0 0" WARNING: this text may have some error in it. --------- Cya -- [Malartre][malartre@aei.ca][http://www.aei.ca/~malartre/] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
