Hi,

I'm trying to transfer an IDE drive between a Linux box and a NetBSD 1.3 
(arm32) system. I have tried all sorts to get bsd to mount the ext2fs 
partition, but to no avail.
I started by creating a set of BSD partitions, and then over writing an 
unused one under linux, as a MSDOS format.
I then moved the disk back to the BSD machine, and changed the disklabel so 
that the partition was typed as MSDOS and not the original 4.2BSD.
I can't mount the DOS partition though. Is what I'm trying just plain 
stupid (!) or is there a proper way to make this work???

Cheers,
Steve.
