Hi people,
I've made some search about it but i didn't find anything. I tried to mount my floppy,

mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt
(Cuz you my windows partition is on hdc1)
says... Couldn't find mount_exec in /sbin.

That's all... if you could help me, i would be very thankfull.

Hammer & Screwdriver Let try

mount -t /dev/fd0 /mnt

Try mount -t /mnt where you had to configure /tmp in the /etc/filesystems file in the way the command mounts the floppy



mount -a /dev/fd0 /mnt give me a (Input Output error)
Sound to me the floppy is not formatted

Since you are using FreeBSD and not Linux, have you tried mounting the entire slice for the floppy with something like this?

Code:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0c /mnt

mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt

FreeBSD does not use the same device names as Linux. /dev/hdc1 is a Linux device name.

On my FreeBSD 4.5 system, my drives are:

Code:
ad0: 16228MB <Maxtor 91700U5> [32972/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
acd0: DVD-ROM <DVD-ROM OEM316B> at ata0-slave using PIO4
cd0: <YAMAHA CRW8824S 1.00> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device

Here is a link of FreeBSD disk device names:

http://docs.freebsd.org/handbook/en/...ks-naming.html

The big challenge is to find which slice your Windows partition is located so that you can mount it.

fdisk should give you the information that you need, just be careful to not blow away any slice or partitions accidently. Smilie

The ethernet card under FreeBSD varies as well. While in Linux it is eth0, eth1, etc under FreeBSD the name depends on the chipset.

The easiest way to identify your ethernet card is to take a look at the dmesg output.

For example, on my FreeBSD 4.5 machine I see this:

Code:
rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xe8001000-0xe80010ff irq 1
1 at device 12.0 on pci0
rl0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00

You might be able to use ifconfig -a as well:

Code:
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.0.0.103 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
        inet6 0000::000:0000f:0000:00f3%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

yes of course... it works... i did ifconfig and my ethernet card is.... vr0 .

Now i got two problems... i can't mount my windows partition...

and i can't configure my pppoe problem.... I'm with Adsl and since one week i did research on how configuring it... and it doesn't work...

When I was on Linux Slackware, I used rp-pppoe from the Roaring Penguins Software, but it's not compatible with FreeBSD.
See my other post (Just down him). I just can't do it... even if I used the freebsd.org configuration handbook.

Maybe you'll see my mystakes...
