Well what you want to do is mount it as a dos drive onto your
filesystem, the easiest way to do this, is as root, type:
mkdir /ms-dos
mount_msdos -m777 /dev/wd0a /ms-dos
which should hopefully do the right thing. the 777 is the
file permsissions for ALL the files, set it appropriately
(look at man mount_msdos) If you want this to
always default to doing that, you need to edit your
/etc/fstab file, to mount that filesystem. This is done by
adding the line:
/dev/wd0a /ms-dos msdos -m777
(try this and make sure it works, I haven't tested it)
other things you might want to add if they're not there include:
kernfs /kern kernfs rw 1 1
(which will give you a kernfs directory, make sure to create /kernfs)
/proc /proc procfs rw 1 2
(which will give you the proc file system, again, create /proc)
/dev/fd /dev/fd fdesc rw 1 2
(for fdescfs)
/dev/wd0b /tmp mfs rw,-s=30000 1 2
(to get a memory filesystem for /tmp. This speeds up access to /tmp by
putting files into memory. the -s=30000 means use UP TO 30 meg of swap. SET IT
appropriately.. i.e, no more than the size of your swap partition).
