I have a 3gig scsi partitioned into 4 sections, msdos, linux swap, linux
root and a user partition. If anyone can point me in the right direction
as to how if at all possible I might mount these partitions on my
mac running NetBSD 1.1. At bootup it successfully probes the drive
as sd1 (sd0 is my internal) and finds all the info like Micropolis 3gig
and all that so that part obviously is ok.
I tried
mount -t msdos /dev/sd1a /msdos
but that didn't work.

//macbsd/home/jcarr#mount -t msdos /dev/sd1a /msdos
