I just upgraded to 2.0.5 and am having trouble mounting my extended dos
partition. I was able to do it on 2.0 by adding the number of sectors
per track to the offset and then decreasing by this number the size of
the partition. I am however quite confused by the new naming in 2.0.5.
I finally found the partition I think I want to mount, but I have no
success. How do I mount this parition ?
# mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s3 /mnt
msdos: mount: Invalid argument
# fdisk /dev/rwd0s3
fdisk: Can't get disk parameters on /dev/rwd0s3; supplying dummy ones
******* Working on device /dev/rwd0s3 *******
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)
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
start 44, size 362956 (177 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 249/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 798/ sector 44/ head 14
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
