I'm having my own "mount madness" and have been watching for solutions
here. I also have a similar setup with HD1 identified as "ad1" and "adis1",
but have been unable to mount it. Here is the fdisk ad1 info:
******* Working on device /dev/ad1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1653 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1653 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (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 12,(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT, LBA)
start 63, size 26555382 (12966 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
Any more tips appreciated...
