Subject:   Q: Mount extended FAT32

Hi all,

I am running 3.4 stable in a i586 with one 10 GB IDE HDD.
(The rest of my) W95 occupies two partitions C:\ and D:\, the last is
a extended FAT32 partition.

The problem I have is that I can't mount the FAT32 partition with eg.

mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s2 /mnt

This attempt will produce the error:

msdos: /dev/wd0s2: Invalid argument

BTW: The C:\-partition was mounted correctly by the setup diskettes.

To make the contents of my HDD clear I show you the results of fdisk:

---------------------------------------------------------------
******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=3D1650 heads=3D255 sectors/track=3D63 (16065 blks/cyl)

=46igures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=3D1650 heads=3D255 sectors/track=3D63 (16065 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 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
    start 63, size 4192902 (2047 Meg), flag 0
	beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
	end: cyl 260/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 5,(Extended DOS)
    start 4192965, size 8401995 (4102 Meg), flag 0
	beg: cyl 261/ sector 1/ head 0;
	end: cyl 783/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 12594960, size 13912290 (6793 Meg), flag 80 (active)
	beg: cyl 784/ sector 1/ head 0;
	end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
---------------------------------------------------------------

I've searched the archives about FAT32 mounting but not found any
helpful yet. Any hints /help will be very appreciated.
