I just installed freebsd 3.1 on a new server. I used a virgin disk to =
install it to thus leaving the old disks under linux alone.

When I got the system updated and working, I wanted to re-mount some of =
the older ext2fs partitions to get  files off of them. I could mount all =
of the old partitions except one -- of course it is the one I need. the =
drive device name is: wd3s4. If I try a mount command as :

mount -t ext2fs /dev/wd3s4 /mnt

I get a message which says:=20
Wrong Magic Number - C233 (expected ef53 for ext2fs)

and the partition fails to boot.

I already remade the kernel with ext2fs support and it will mount my =
other parttiions which are also ext2fs no problem.

HELPPPPP
