Hi Ryan!
And thanks for your help :)

Unfortunately, just as much as dmesg, /var/log/messages says nothing :s
Look:

root at inferna:~ # date
Sat Jul  5 00:39:39 ART 2008
root at inferna:~ # mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad0s8 /mnt/
root at inferna:~ # ls /mnt
ls: /mnt: Bad file descriptor
root at inferna:~ # cd /mnt
/mnt: Not a directory.
root at inferna:~ # cat /var/log/messages | tail -5
Jul  4 20:21:13 inferna su: gonzalo to root on /dev/ttyp2
Jul  4 20:38:34 inferna kernel: linux: pid 8503 (doom.x86): ioctl fd=17, 
cmd=0x5801 ('X',1) is not implemented
Jul  4 20:47:28 inferna kernel: pid 8511 (doom.x86), uid 1001: exited on 
signal 11
Jul  4 23:54:48 inferna su: gonzalo to root on /dev/ttyp3
Jul  5 00:38:24 inferna su: gonzalo to root on /dev/ttyp2
root at inferna:~ # umount /mnt
root at inferna:~ # cat /var/log/messages | tail -5
Jul  4 20:21:13 inferna su: gonzalo to root on /dev/ttyp2
Jul  4 20:38:34 inferna kernel: linux: pid 8503 (doom.x86): ioctl fd=17,

Jul  5 00:38:24 inferna su: gonzalo to root on /dev/ttyp2
root at inferna:~ #                                       

Have you, by any chance, tried and suceded at mounting ext2fs on FBSD7?
If you did, at least I'd know that it _is_ possible :s

Thanks  :)
