I found the problem now. It was a "hidden" tooltype (UNIT=3). The
harddisk I wanted to mount sits on unit 6. This could not work.

Let me explain how it came I didn't see this tooltype right away. The
visible lines (7) in the tooltype were blank. I don't know from which
DOSDriver I copied this one, but in fact you were right. I copied the
bad tooltypes along with the icon and didn't realize it. This costed
me quite a few hours. But the good thing about it is that I know the
BFFS doc now by heard ;)

Many thanks!
