Are you running Windows 2000? It looks like you have an NTFS partition on ads02, which would probably be your C: drive in Windows. Is that what you are trying to mount? If so, you really need: mount -tntfs /dev/ad0s2 /mnt which will mount that drive read-only (NTFS is not writable yet, AFAIK)
OR did you create a different FAT32 partition? If you created your own separate FAT32 partition, did you create a logical partition, IN the extended partition? if so, try: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV ad0s5 mount_msdos /dev/ad0s5 /mnt Hope that helps, -Matt On Fri, 2002-09-20 at 13:57, twig les wrote: > Hey all, for some reason I'm having a lot of trouble > mounting a fat 32 partition, even though the book I > have and the web site I found both said that it's a > snap.
