It would be easier for us to help if you gave us the commands you typed and the error messages you got. For the ext2 partition, you should be able to use mount_ext2(8) if your kernel was compiled with the EXT2FS option (see LINT). I have my doubts about the msdos filesystem, because it's more than likely that the Microsoft FDISK command was used to enable "large disk support", which I seem to remember breaking our support for msdos filesystems. That aside, you might be able to use mount_msdos(8) if your kernel was compiled with the MSDOSFS option (again, see LINT). Cioa, Sheldon.
