cant write on my msdos partition :/

[Terry Tyson]

Marlon,

I just went through this myself. You must also have rights to the devise
itself.

1) chgrp ? /dev/ad0s1
where "?" is the group you want to have access.

2) chmod ### /dev/ad0s1
where ### is the permission values you want. See the handbook for details.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Terry
