I'm having problems mounting an extended dos partition. Dospart doesn't seem
to detect it, so I tried to manually install it. Here's what I did:

- I added a line to the disklabel(here's the whole table):

8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:    40960  1927296    4.2BSD     1024  8192    11 	# (Cyl.  239 - 244*)
  b:    65536  1968256      swap                    	# (Cyl.  244*- 252*)
  c:   411264  1927296    unused        0     0       	# (Cyl.  239 - 289)
  d:  4999680        0    unused        0     0       	# (Cyl.    0 - 619)
  e:    92160  2033792    4.2BSD     1024  8192    11 	# (Cyl.  252*- 263*)
  f:   212608  2125952    4.2BSD     1024  8192    11 	# (Cyl.  263*- 289*)
  g:  1927233       63     MSDOS                    	# (Cyl.    0*- 238*)
  h:  2653056  2338560     MSDOS                    	# (Cyl.  290 - 618)

And I added a line to fstab...

/dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/wd0f /u1 ufs rw 1 1
/dev/wd0e /u1/usr/vice/cache ufs rw 1 1
swap /tmp mfs rw,-s20480 1 1
procfs /proc procfs rw 1 2
kernfs /kern kernfs rw 1 1
/dev/wd0g /dosc msdos rw 0 0
/dev/wd0h /dosd msdos rw 0 0


But when I run mount -a, I get the following:

msdos: mount: Invalid argument


Any suggestions?
