Yep. The DOS extended partitions start at /dev/<drive><unit>s5 So if you had a D and an E partition on SCSI drive 0, the mapping would be: D: /dev/sd0s5 E: /dev/sd0s6 And you could mount them by saying: mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s5 /mnt (and so on). BTW, your headers are totally hosed and don't let anyone simply "reply" to you - they've gotta filch the address out of your .signature. Most evil, please fix.
