- This is version 0.0 of the code to allow mountable DOS filesystems
- under 386bsd 0.1. It is refered to as pcfs from now on. No, this is
- not related to sun's pcfs, although they essentially do the same
- thing.
-
- This package has been installed on a 386bsd 0.1 system that has NOT
- had the patchkit installed. But, pcfs only changes a few files in
- the base system so if pcfs changes collide with the patchkit they will
- be small and localized.
-
- Unshar each of the following 4 shar files. They create files in
- /sys/pcfs and /usr/src/sbin/mount_pcfs. They do not overwrite any
- existing files. Once you have them unshared read the /sys/pcfs/INSTALL
- file to find out how to install it and mount pc filesystems. Then look
- at the /sys/pcfs/pcfs.8 file for a list of the filesystem's quirks.
-
- If you have problems send me some email and I'll see what I can do.
- If you add things please send me the mods and I will try to incorporate
- them for the next release.
-
- Have fun,
- Paul
