This is yet another request for help about mounting DOS partitions...
I have NetBSD 1.1 on a second physical drive and I'm trying to mount a
DOS partition that's on the same physical drive. I don't know if
things get sticky because I have an HPFS primary partition on that
same drive. Anyhow, the closest I could get to mounting the dos
partition was getting my disklabel to look like this:
7 partitions: size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 102400 1878912 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 466 - 491*)
b: 122880 1981312 swap # (Cyl. 491*- 521*)
c: 624960 1878912 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 466 - 620)
d: 1056384 822528 MSDOS # (Cyl. 204 - 465)
e: 122880 2104192 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 521*- 552*)
f: 276800 2227072 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 552*- 620*)
g: 822528 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 203)
The values for MSDOS were from fdisk. But running 'mount /dev/wd1d
/mnt' gives me
ffs: /dev/wd1d on /mnt: incorrect super block
and after editting /etc/fstab and running 'mount /dosdata' I get
msdos: mount: Invalid argument
What can I do to correct this? Again I wonder if the HPFS volume has
something to do with it. Incidentally, is it possible to mount HPFS
partitions?
