Subject: I cannot mount larger msdos partitions

Hi,
I have tried to copy a CD image from the cd0 dev
to an IDE disk, msdos formated.
The disk had a large dos partition (about 1GB),
and when I mounted it with:

mount -t msdos /dev/wd0 /mnt

kernel said that something is wrong, but I didn't pay attention...

when i started to dump the cd image on it the machine
restarted (or crashed) and after booting 
the root slice was seriously damaged.

I think Microsoft have used another secret about their msdos fs
for larger disk support.

Thanks, ian.
