Good question, here's the results of fdisk fd0a ->
******* Working on device /dev/fd0a *******
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)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 1,(Primary DOS with 12 bit FAT)
start 0, size 2880 (1 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 79/ sector 18/ head 1
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
I don't know what else to do to find out what the
filesystem type is.
Did I do the right thing or not?
