Hello,
 
I have a computer with 2 disks. On one of them freebsd is installed. The
other one is a FAT32 drive. I would like to mount the FAT32 drive, but my
dmesg log reports errors (see below). The drive still contains some data I'd
like to retrieve (after that is done a format of the drive would be an
option). Any suggestions on how I could do that (best)?

Regards,

Freek Nossin
