Then how come I have been able to access my dos-partion for about two
and a half year mounting /dev/hda2 as /msdos? ;->

root%  mount -t msdos /dev/hda2 /msdos -o noexec,ro,nosuid,blocksize=1024,auto

Works with kernel 2.0.3[3,5] so don't think I need to check my
partions. As stated in other mail: I think the problem was that
fat-support wasn't included in the kernel (or I forgot to load that
module which is more likely).

Used OS/2's fdisk and boot manager if that matters.
