- Ok, what you must do is mount the DOS filesystem. You can do that by:
-
- mount -t msdos /dev/hdxx /mount_point
-
- where
- xx = the partition letter and number of the DOS partition like a1 or a2 or b1
- mount_point = an empty directory anywhere in the file system ie. /mnt or /dos
-
- This all assuming that you have msdos filesystem support in your kernel. If
- you do not, you'll have to recompile it. =)
