FAT32?

["M. Schatzl" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

thanks for resolving the dhclient manpage-issue. I couldn't provide 
more detailed information that moment due to notorical hurry.

I encountered strange behaviour related to FAT32-partitions. Since I 
have 3 IDE's in the box, the mount-command would be (see fdisk output 
at the end of the message):
 mount_msdos /dev/ad2s4 /mnt

This fails with an "mount_msdos /dev/ad2s4: Invalid argument". Same 
error if i append a "c" at the end. This machine has another FAT32 
partition on the first disk. Exactly the same here.

I do not know if its just my own dumbness or something more serious, 
but I would appreciate your comments. Ask if you need more detailed 
information.

Thanks in advance
