mounting an msdos volume?

2002-10-10 Thread S Randall

Hi
I am running a dual boot system.  WinXP (NTFS) and freebsd 4.6.2 on a seperate 
SCSI hard drive.  Is there a way to mount the DOS hard drive/partition and 
read and write files to that volume?  I was able to do this in mandrake 
linux.  It was a link in my /mnt folder.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Stephen

you can read NTFS filesystems, but you can't write to them.

if the NTFS drive is ad0, you can try putting:
/dev/ad0s1  /mnt/windowsntfsro  0   2
in your /etc/fstab

you can test it out beforehand with:
mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows
