Hello!

Is it possible to use DOS-formatted media (phase change in my case) under 
RiscBSD, and is so, how?

I formatted a PD disk on a PC with an Adaptec controller, using Adaptec's 
afdisk, to a size of 512 MB (because RiscOS 3.5 won't be able to handle 
it if it's larger, right?).
Reading it under RiscOS with !PCDisk was no problem.

If I try to mount it under RiscBSD, I get: sd1: no disklabel.
So I just ran "disklabel sd1", with the result that I can't read the disk 
under RiscOS any more. 
Sorry, but I don't know which error I get if I try to mount after 
running disklabel. I'm not at my home machine atm.

I will compile what I find out into a q+a for the FAQ or maybe even a 
little guide.

Hope somebody can help,

Markus
