Sorry took me so long to get back to this message, but
here's what I got:
fdisk /dev/da0s1:
******* Working on device /dev/da0s1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=19456 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=19456 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 104 (0x68),(unknown)
start 1936028272, size 1851859059 (904228 Meg),
flag 6e
beg: cyl 116/ head 100/ sector 32;
end: cyl 288/ head 101/ sector 46
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 121 (0x79),(QNX4.x 3rd part)
start 1330184192, size 538976288 (263172 Meg),
flag 79
beg: cyl 357/ head 32/ sector 43;
end: cyl 0/ head 13/ sector 10
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 83 (0x53),(DM6 Aux3)
start 538989391, size 1398362912 (682794 Meg),
flag 20
beg: cyl 345/ head 32/ sector 19;
end: cyl 324/ head 77/ sector 19
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 73 (0x49),(unknown)
start 1394627663, size 21337 (10 Meg), flag 7e
beg: cyl 87/ head 1/ sector 0;
end: cyl 335/ head 78/ sector 2
The mount command I'm using is mount /dev/da0s1
/mnt/external and it results in:
mount: /dev/da0s1 on /mnt/external: incorrect super
block
Any feedback on this would be very much appreciated.
I have created the FAT32 patition on /dev/da0 using
Partition magic.
