I am trying to mount a fat32 slice with :

gmarco:/usr/tmp#mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s1 /mnt/dos
msdos: /dev/sd0s1: Invalid argument
gmarco:/usr/tmp#fdisk sd0
******* Working on device /dev/rsd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1106 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=1106 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 11,(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT)
    start 63, size 9590742 (4682 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
        end: cyl 596/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 9590805, size 8177085 (3992 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 597/ sector 1/ head 0;
        end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>

While mounting the zip drive works just fine :

gmarco:/usr/tmp#mount -t msdos /dev/sd2s4 /mnt/mzip
gmarco:/usr/tmp#

Any ideas ?
