I think it's already supported - try accessing slices 5-8, i.e. mount_msdos /dev/ad0s5 /foo or whatever. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean? Slices 5-8 represent partitions within a DOS extended partition, which I think is what you're talking about. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
