I have been doing a lot of key work over the last couple of days What I am doing is: dmesg | grep da0 To find the drive that is listed on as it might not be da0 if you have other things plugged in. Then: mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt Does the same thing but I think ends up being a little cleaner. -rich vittorio wrote: > With all my USB pens I invariably use: > > /sbin/mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt > > And it works. > > Vittorio > Alle 06:09, venerd́ 06 gennaio 2006, Teilhard Knight ha scritto: > >>> On 2006-01-05 15:28, Teilhard Knight <teilhk@crosswinds.net> wrote: >>> >>>> Can someone tell me, or point to me where I can find, how to >>>> mount a Flash Disk in release 6.0?
