I mean, ok, nobody has a problem telling you the command line (which is also shown below), but did you do basic research on how this could be done? Read the manpages? Anyways, what you want is filesystem-type 'msdos', and to mount the `slice' and not a `partition' in the slice. # mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s1 /mnt [ this will correctly try to mount slice 1 of atapi disk 0, to /mnt ] Do not try mounting a partition in the slice, as shown below. You'll get an error, since the FAT partition does not have a valid disklabel. # mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s1c /mnt msdosfs: /dev/ad0s1c: Invalid argument -giorgos PS: Please do not post questions on this list.
