- Can you mount DOS filesystems/partitions in 386BSD (like you can in SunOS
- using mount -t pcfs) ?? If so how ??
-
- If not (which is what I expect) - is it likely to be included in a future
- release ?? Is anybody working on it ?? If they are do you need a hand ??
-
- I will have a look at this if noone else is doing it as I may find it useful.
- Since BSD runs on Intel boxes (which usually run DOS) it would seem sensible
- to let you transfer data between the two systems.
-
- As an after thought, I know that VPIX runs DOS apps but does it use the DOS
- partitions or are the programs stored on the BSD partitions ??
-
- Any information on these subjects would be useful ....
- Thanks
