Hi Harald, There are several inquiries related to your error on the Web that I found via a google search. They all pretty much pointed to the same thing Alexander mentioned: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#MOUNT-CD-SUPERBLOCK I think it was perfectly reasonable for him to ask whether you read the man pages for mount because you did not give any indication of what you tried to do regarding specifying the file system type (mount -t) which seems to be directly related to your problem. I would like to help, but 1) I tend to agree that it's a question better suited to some other forum (such as FreeBSD or MacOSX) and 2) I don't even know what you mean by "a correct FreeBSD partition." This phrase seems to make some assumptions and I don't know what those are (perhaps big-endian UFS?).
