I have the following line in my /etc/fstab and it works just fine. /dev/da1s1 /stick msdosfs rw,noauto You have to mount after and umount before plugging the stick in or pulling it out. At least that version of FreeBSD does not automount/umount. I don't know about a driver. I didn't have to do anything extra for a driver. That machine currently has FreeBSD 7.1 on a Dell desktop of some sort (I don't even remember), probably an Optiplex. Of course, the above assumes you have a FATnnn (FAT32) MessyDOS filesystem on it. I think you can put a UFS on it, but then MS won't know how to read/write it. ////jerry > > -- > Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix > The 7.83a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php > http://journey.thought.org 99 44/100% Guaranteed Novel > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
