The Story: We just switched a developer workstation from RedHat8 to FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE (we're now "All FreeBSD" for our servers and our core dev team. :) We installed fbsd on a new harddrive, and the old harddrive with the rh8 system is now the slave on the primary ide controller. We want to move all of Chris's (the developer) work files and dot files over to the fbsd drive. In the past this has been easy by enabling the ext2fs support in the kernel. The problem is that we can mount the root partition, but the other ext3 partitions seem to be hidden behind an "Extended DOS" partition. At least thats what fdisk implies.
