The SCSI controller is a Symbios Logic NCR8100s.

With the above configuration, I am able to mount the first partition of any of 
the disk units by,

mount -t ufs -o ufstype=old /dev/sda /mnt

or the like for /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc. 

The problem is that there are more partitions on the disks than just the 
first. When I try to mount them using a command such as:

mount -t ufs -o ufstype=old /dev/sda2 /mnt

I get an error of the form,

mount: /dev/sda2 is not a valid block device

These drivers were in a Dec Alpha running OSF/1 v.3.2c. The drive which is 
associated with /dev/sda in linux had two partitions, rz0a and rz0g in OSF/1.
The drive associated with /dev/sdb in linux had two paritions, rz1f and rz1g 
in OSF/1. The drive associated with /dev/sdc in linux had two paritions, rz2f 
and rz2g in OSF/1.

I need help getting data off these partitions. The alpha server from which 
these drives (RZ26L) came is no more, and I don't have access to such a 
machine.

Does anyone have any suggestions for helping me get the data off these drives?
Any help would be greatly appreciated... 
Thanks.
Phillip Curtiss
