Um, I have no idea what either of those are. How would I tell which I have? What are the differences between them? I do know that when I try and mount wd1s1 and wd1s2, mount_msdos gives me an error along the lines of "invalid argument". I didn't have a wd1s5 or wd1s6, so I MAKEDEV'ed them, and tried to mount them, at which point I was told "device not configured". -- Mike Cugley, lunatic at large http://freespace.virgin.net/michael.cugley/ http://freespace.virgin.net/michael.cugley/Art/ Mike's Doom Quake - http://www.crosswinds.net/dundee/~korvar/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
