   > Why should one? "mount_msdos" does a very good job for this purpose.


   Now I got mount_msdos to read disks just great, but it trashes the disks
   if you write to them. Meaning they can't be read again by crossdos or by
   my PC at work anymore. They are still usable by NetBSD but that doesn't
   help me much? I wasn't able to find any good documentaion on how to
   mount msdos disks :I Can I ask what line any of you use?

Hope you did unmount them before taking them out.

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0b /mnt

is what I always use on the A3000.

   And if you can, teh same would go for ISO9660 CD-Rom drives. I have a 6x
   Scsi cd-rom that is found by the kernal at boot as CD0, and if there is a
   disk in the drive at boot it finds a lot more information. But trying to
   mount the drive so i can read from it just yields "Device is Read-Only"
   and nothing gets mounted.

   mount_iso9660 /dev/cd0c /mnt/cdrom

mount_cd9660, last i looked, and you need to give the -r option
(read-only), as you never will manage to mount a cdrom read/write.

Or mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt
