JA> I have Win95 installed in my computer, but I'm booting the system from the JA> boot disk that I made with rawrite boot4.flp and I also tried boot.flp. JW>The latter is unimportant -- but Win95 certainly is. I assume you're JW>using this dreaded VFAT filesystem then. Sorry to say, but our MSDOS JW>filesystem code is not yet up to this. I Formated my hard drive and only installed dos 6.22 and have removed Windows 95 complety from my system and again I get the same error message. Error mounting /dev/wd1s2 on /dos: invalid argument (22) JW>Good news: FreeBSD 2.2 doesn't use the msdosfs for installation, but a JW>private library instead. This should at least allow installing from a JW>VFAT filesystem, even though you still can't mount it in Unix JW>afterwards (but the mtools package can export or import files there). Should I download FreeBSD 2.2? I'm a beginger to Unix is 2.2 stable enough for me to pratic on? I'm wanting to start up my own ISP using BSD it was a recomendation for the ISP now he runs it and I have gotten use to it. Thanks Joe
