The problem that I have run into is that I am able to access the dos partition (wd0s1) and the FreeBSD partition (wd0s2) is accessable of course. The problem is that all my other partitions reside in an extended partition (wd0s3). I want to be able to access my Win95 partition (wd0s3 first logical partition) and my 2 linux partitions (wd0s3 logical drive 3 and 5) and once I get it installed the Solaris pratition as well. (will be wd0s3 logical 6)_ Is there any way that I can access the data in this extended partition? If so... how. System information: OS: FreeBSD 3.0-BETA (updated via cvsup this morning 9/27) HDD: IBM 8.4GB Anything more just ask please.
