I have a dual boot machine with msdos and freebsd sharing one scsi hard
drive.
Whenever I tried to mount msdos partition in freebsd, the machine
encounters
problems and reboot. The command I used was.
mount_msdos /dev/sd0s1 /dos

This is my fstab file:

/dev/sd0s2b             none            swap    sw              0
0
/dev/sd0a               /               ufs     rw              1
1
/dev/sd0s2f             /usr            ufs     rw              2
2
/dev/sd0s2e             /var            ufs     rw              2
2
proc                    /proc           procfs  rw              0
0
/dev/cd0a               /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0
0
/dev/sd1e               /disk/d2p1      ufs     rw              2
2
/dev/sd1f               /disk/d2p2      ufs     rw              2
2
#/dev/sd0s1              /dos          msdos   rw              0       0

Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks.

Later I found that the filesystem I used for my dos partition (actually
windows 95) seems to be
a new one, message displayed by fdisk in freebsd:

The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 11,(Primary DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT)
    start 63, size 4449942 (2172 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
        end: cyl 276/ sector 63/ head 254

It is different to someother systems that work:

The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
    start 63, size 4192902 (2047 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
        end: cyl 260/ sector 63/ head 254

Maybe this is what causing the problem?

Does FreeBSD support 32 bit FAT ?

FreeBSD doesnt support Fat32 (yet?? hopefully?)

There is support for VFAT (I'm not sure about FAT32) in -current. You can try
it using picobsd floppy - it was built right after this feature was added, so
it contains some known bugs, but most of the time it works ok. See
