I a hoping to mount linux (redhat 5.1) formatted partitions under NetBSD
Athena. I have been told that this involves messing with the disklabel
under NetBSD. Currently my disklabel looks like this:
ten-cent-crack-whore.mit.edu# disklabel -r wd0
# /dev/rwd0d:
type: ST506
disk: temp
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 16
sectors/cylinder: 1008
cylinders: 8355
total sectors: 8421840
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
6 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 204800 63 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0*- 203*)
b: 131072 204863 swap # (Cyl. 203*- 333*)
c: 4192902 63 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 4159*)
d: 8421840 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 8354)
e: 131072 335935 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 333*- 463*)
f: 3725312 467007 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 463*- 4159*)
the portion of the disk living between cyl 4160 and 8354 is a dos extended
partition according to fdisk under linux. inside this partition are 3
logical? partitions, 2 linux native and one linux swap. the linux native i am
interested in.
linux fdisk says my disk looks like this (retyped, not copied)
Partition begin start end blocks type comment
hda1 1 1 261 2096451 a5 NetBSD
hda2 262 262 524 2112547+ 5 dos extended
hda5 262 262 338 618471 83 /
hda6 339 339 355 136521 82 swap
hda7 356 356 524 1357461 83 /usr
so, my problem is, what do i do about the extended partion?
generally, i dont know where to begin. if someone could
point me to a faq, that would be great.
thanks in advance to anyone who can help
