a bit more on "mount madness"
Ok. I take a marvelously running Windows 2000 system and
install the second harddisk that has windows98/fat32x on it.
Bios recognizes drive correctly.
Windows recognizes there's a drive, recognizes there's a partition
on it and assigns it a drive letter; but doesn't think it's formatted
and insists on me formatting the partition.
If I put that disk as a second disk in my FreeBSD box I cannot mount it.
root@quattro [~]# mount -t msdos /dev/ad1s1 /mnt/fat32
msdos: /dev/ad1s1: Invalid argument
If I put that disk in a Linux box, Linux cannot mount it either.
Both FreeBSD and Linux see the partition scheme.
If I boot with a Windows98 floppy I have full access to the drive.
Jumpers and Bios setting all look fine.
ideas?
