to create a fat filesystem , you can use the command mkfs.msdos or mkdosfs .
The syntax of the command is very simple : mkdosfs /dev/hdx
to mount a fat filesystem , you'll have just to use the mount command , for example :
mount /dev/hdx /windows

mount_ptyfs
MOUNT_PTYFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_PTYFS(8)
NAME
mount_ptyfs -- mount the /dev/pts file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_ptyfs [-g group|gid] [-m mode] [-o options] ptyfs mount_point
DESCRIPTION
The mount_ptyfs command attaches an instance of the pseudo-terminal device filesystem to the global filesystem namespace. The conventional
mount point is /dev/pts. The directory specified by mount_point is converted to an absolute path before use. This command is normally exe-
cuted by mount(8) at boot time.
The filesystem contains pseudo-terminal slave device nodes which are allocated dynamically via ptm(4), or they are already open via tradi-
tional BSD style ptys.
The options are as follows:
-g group|gid
Specify the group ownership of the slave pseudo-tty.
-m mode
Specify the default mode of the slave pseudo-tty.
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
mount_ptyfs specific options are group which corresponds to -g, and mode which corresponds to -m. See the mount(8) man page for pos-
sible options and their meanings.
FILES
n The nth pseudo-terminal device in use.
SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), ptm(4), fstab(5), mount(8)
HISTORY
The mount_ptyfs utility first appeared in NetBSD 3.0.
BUGS
When multiple instances are mounted, they all display the union of the ptys used in each instance, not just the ones used in the particular
instance.
