Hi,
I am trying to mount an msdos-partition from my SCSI disk without success.
I guess it might have something to do with it being too big. It extends
cyl. 1024 as seen from NetBSD. (The BIOS does geometry translation so I
have no problem booting NetBSD beyond cyl 1024.)
The system is NetBSD 1.2G i386 with a 4GB SCSI disk.
The error is:
> mount -t msdos -o rdonly /dev/sd0h /mnt
msdos: mount: Invalid argument
Any clues??
Best wishes
