This should be ``options EXT2FS'', but make sure to verify this in the LINT config file.

This should make mount -t ext2fs /dev/wd1s1 /linuxfs then. > And for a bonus question, how do I get at the extended partitions 5 & 6 > on the 2nd drive? They are /dev/wd1s5 and /dev/wd1s6. You probably need to run /dev/MAKEDEV to create the actual device nodes. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
