Bert,
These work for me:
/dev/hda2 /mnt/dosc vfat rw,gid=100,umask=2 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/dosd vfat rw,gid=100,umask=2 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/dosf vfat rw,gid=100,umask=2 0 0
where hda is for the first hard drive and hdb is for the second.
RW is for read/write, gid=100 is for ability to use from the group
ID of 100 of which I added my user id.
To know for sure what the hdxx numbers are you can run fdisk and see
them. /sbin/cfdisk /dev/hda or /sbin/cfdisk /dev/hdb etc.
All of the above needs to be done as su or root.
Then you should add with the mkdir command a folder for dosc, dosd, etc.
Here's how: mkdir /mnt/dosc
mkdir /mnt/dosd
