Well, in FreeSBIE 1.1 there's a startup script (to be ported still in FreeSBIE 2) which searches readable partition and mount them on the fly. It doesn't update the fstab file. You can see with `mount` with no arguments which partitions are mounted and where. > Besides, who do *I* know what filesystems are mountable if I use FreeSBIE, in > particular journalized filesystems which, I was told, FreeBSD/FreeSBIE cannot > read?

Two reasons: 1) there's no entries in fstab, as mentioned before 2) FreeBSD's mount doesn't auto-recognize partition type like Linux one do when launched with -t auto. So you have at least to run `mount -t cd9660 /dev/whatever /mnt/whatelse`. Or mount_cd9660, which is equivalent. > One more question: can FreeSBIE be used with a dial-up connection?

There is FreeBSD's ppp utility, which you can configure editing /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and run from a terminal. See this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/userppp.html and all the chapter about PPP on the FreeBSD handbook.
