The install kernel boots OK, partitions OK (it used to hang there,=20
possibly because of the FPE thing). Great ;-)

But then mount_msdos /dev/wd0e /mnt2 gives an "operation not supported=20=

by device" error which I didn=B4t have in 1.6.2.

I have a big IDE disk in the PB150, with a 125 MB DOS partition, which=20=

I mount in Mac OS and copy all the distribution sets there, and then I=20=

mount later in BSD to grab that distribution for the installer.

Does the install kernel (030FPE) support MSDOS partition mounting?

If not, I am a bit out of luck, since I can=B4t access the distribution=20=

sets any other way (the Mac OS installer does not "see" HFS partitions=20=

right?)
