I have a dual booting system with w2k and freebsd. Under sysinstall,
the disk partition configuration follows:
Disk name: ad0 FDISK Partition Editor
DISK Geometry: 4866 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 78172290 sectors (38170MB)
Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags
0 63 62 - 12 unused 0
63 15454467 15454529 ad0s1 4 NTFS/HPFS/QNX 7
15454530 35776755 51231284 ad0s2 4 extended DOS, LBA 15
51231285 26941005 78172289 ad0s3 8 freebsd 165
78172290 5502 78177791 - 12 unused 0
My problem is that in my second Primary Partion ad0s2 (which is
extended partition under w2k), I have two partitions which are D:
drive as in NTFS and E: drive as in FAT32 file system. But I can't
separate them under freeBSD:
PEARLBSD# ls /dev/ad0*
/dev/ad0 /dev/ad0s2 /dev/ad0s3a /dev/ad0s3c
/dev/ad0s3e /dev/ad0s5
/dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s3 /dev/ad0s3b /dev/ad0s3d
/dev/ad0s3f /dev/ad0s6
There is no such a thing as /dev/ad0s2a and /dev/ad0s2b. What I want
is to mount my E: drive but i can't.
PEARLBSD# mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s2 /mnt/E
msdosfs: /dev/ad0s2: Invalid argument
PEARLBSD# mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s2 /mnt/E
ntfs: /dev/ad0s2: Invalid argument
I do can mount /dev/ad0s1 which is my C: drive:
PEARLBSD# mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/E
PEARLBSD# cd /mnt/E
PEARLBSD# ls
$AttrDef CONFIG.SYS WUTemp
$BadClus Documents and Settings ZinioInstall.txt
$Bitmap Downloads arcldr.exe
$Boot IO.SYS arcsetup.exe
$Extend MSDOS.SYS boot.ini
$LogFile My Music bootex.log
$MFTMirr NTDETECT.COM bootfont.bin
$Secure Program Files ntldr
$UpCase RECYCLER odbcconf.log
$Volume System Volume Information
AUTOEXEC.BAT WINNT
Can somebody help me with that?
Thank you in advance.
