Thank you for your response, Doug.
One more question:
My 1st hard drive, master on drive 1, w/ the CD-ROM as slave, has Linux at
/dev/hda5 /
/dev/hda6 /home
and so forth, according to Linux (the Linux fstab). My second hard drive,
master on drive 2, is where FreeBSD resides, at
/dev/wd2s1b swap
/dev/wd2s1a /
/dev/wd2s1f /usr
and so forth, according to my FreeBSD fstab. The 1st drive does not appear
in the fstab. Would my command for mounting my come file in Linux be
mount -t ext2fs /dev/wd0s6 /mnt
or, equally,
mount_ext2fs /dev/wd0s6 /mnt
or would the ext2fs be called /dev/wd0sf? Or /dev/wd1s6 or wd1sf? Or do I
need to use Linux's nomenclature and call it /dev/hda6?
Thanks.
As always, I appreciate your knowledge and grace in helping us newbies and
newbie-likes. :-)
