The commands mount -t msdos /dev/da1 /mnt mount -t msdos /dev/da1s1 /mnt mount -t msdos /dev/da1s1a /mnt all return Device not configured Using the command mount_msdos gives the same result. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem? Thanks I was able to borrow a Windows machine and found none of the drives had a FAT32 filesystem on them. When I formatted a drive and returned home I was able to mount it as /dev/da1. My apologies.
