This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_000E_01BEA369.8D7B1560 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I am running FreeBSD 3.1 on a Dell Latitude CPi laptop. Also, FreeBSD is = installed on the c:\ drive along with W98. When I login I cannot access the cdrom drive through the /cdrom mount = point. I tried various forms of the mount command, but was unsuccessful. (I don't remember the exact commands I tried). However, I was able to = mount the cdrom by modifiying /etc/fstab and removing the noauto statement = then executing mount -a Can someone instruct me on how to properly mount the cdrom from the = command line without changing fstab. In addition, I need to mount the floppy drive. I have tried various = forms of the following mount /dev/fdc0 /dos with no luck. I have read several online docs, but either I am missing something or = the process is not a simple as the docs imply. Sharing... I am also interested in sharing FreeBSD files with my W98 OS. I have = attempted to create an extended (logical) partition that both OS's can read, but have had no = luck. When I create an extended partition with PartitionMagic and create a = logical drive within that partition, the drivemapper within the BSD install only sees = the extended partition and labels it as unknown. Therefore I am unable to set a mount = point from here. Has someone done this before. If it is not possible, what are my other = options to share data between W98 and FreeBSD?
