Now that I have a working keyboard and a busybox shell, I'm trying to mount a USB key. I did... mknod /dev/sda b 8 0 mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 ...inserted a USB key, and tried mounting it. dmesg indicates that the USB driver did find sda and sda1. However, the "mount" command always fails with a cryptic, and useless, error message. Is there an example somewhere of how busybox's "mount" command works? Or does it not support "msdos" or "vfat" filesystem types? -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 Q. Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of Microsoft security? A.
