I just upgraded to 2.0.5 and am having trouble mounting my extended dos partition. I was able to do it on 2.0 by adding the number of sectors per track to the offset and then decreasing by this number the size of the partition. I am however quite confused by the new naming in 2.0.5. I finally found the partition I think I want to mount, but I have no success. How do I mount this parition ? # mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s3 /mnt msdos: mount: Invalid argument # fdisk /dev/rwd0s3 fdisk: Can't get disk parameters on /dev/rwd0s3; supplying dummy ones ******* Working on device /dev/rwd0s3 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB)) start 44, size 362956 (177 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 249/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 798/ sector 44/ head 14 The data for partition 1 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED>
