I am running Win98 and FreeBSD 3.3-R on the same computer, with two HDs. One has a single 3Gb fat32 partition, and one a 6Gb UFS partition, and I can easily mount the fat32 partition with `mount -t ufs ...`. But then again, I do have the MSDOSFS in my kernel, so it might just be that :) -- Oren Sarig sarig@isdn.net.il To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
