What am I > missing? Umm.... Minix is a "virtual filesystem" not possible to partition an actual HD with..... ie. RamDrive (if I remember correctly). You originally formatted the drive ext2 as I remember correctly, which Bering (LEAF) does not support unless you load the correct module set. What you are missing is that LEAF/Bering is run on a msdos partition natively, I would suggest partitioning the drive with an "msdos" partition as every LEAF Harddrive suggests. You should then be able to mount it with: mount -t msdos /dev/"drive" /"mount-point" Charles' Harddrive Howto in the LEAF /doc/howto section aptly describes how to correctly partition a IDE drive for virtually all LEAF variants.
