1. [FreeBSD] Install of Euphoria
Hello All,
I am trying to install Euphoria on FreeBSD, I have the files on my Windows XP
C: drive, and on a Lexmar JumpDrive. I can't seem to get the C: drive to mount
under FreeBSD. The dmesg says the JumpDrive is located at da0, how do I mount
the da0?
I also tried copying from my C: drive in Windows XP to a floppy in drive A:
then under FreeBSD I tried to mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt, it started up
the floppy drive and spun it for a couple of minutes then returned an
input/output error. Getting very frustrated here.
Any sugesstions would be helpful.
Later.

Hi not really a bsd user, but assuming linux similarities.
You must be root to mount drives (guffaws of laughter from my fellow co-workers
when I say this)
for the c drive try
mount /dev/hda0 /mnt
(note, no type specified)
similarly for the floppy
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
for the lexmar jump drive, if its anything like a zip drive, partition 0 is not
the partition to mount
mount /dev/da4 /mnt
see what happens with this last one, and let me know.

Chris,
Thanks for the input, the hda0 does not exist, apparently the hard drive(s)
and partitions are called ad0 with stuff appended to it.
The floppy still hits an input/output error reguardless if I use the type or
not.
There was no da4 in the /dev directory, although there was a da0s1 in there
besides the da0, so your remark about the jump drive being like a zip drive
and partition 0 not being the one to mount, led me to see what others was
there.
When I tried the mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt it told me "invalid super block", so
I went back and tried to mount it with the msdos type, so I used:
mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt, and it mounted fine, I was able to switch to
the /mnt directory and copy the euphoria files over.
Thanks for your help, I will dig a little deeper when I get the chance on the
floppy problem and the C: drive.
Later.
