Mounting a NTFS (read-only) disk...
Hi, I've got my FreeBSD box as a file-server. I added in a 60gb disk I want to copy the data off of, and format for FreeBSD, slice out, etc. When I go to /stand/sysinstall and try to label ad5 (the added 60gb disk), I get an error. I go to Label, and select Mount Point by pressing m, and get this error: Fatal Error: Bogus partition under cursor??? - PRESS ANY KEY TO QUIT after which it promptly throws me back to my prompt, erroring out of sysinstall. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to mount that disk read-only for now? Thanks all in advance. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Ralph | Internet Systems Security + + Boundariez.com | -Specializing in Paranoia- + -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + ralph[!at]boundariez[dot!]com | Never understimate the power + +AIM: SekurityWizard | stupid people + +ICQ: 2206039|in large groups+ -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I guess I'll just try and NOT write to it :) Thanks ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
