I thought so.  I think I've had luck only with MSDOS partitions.

Thanks, Manuel, I had tried that as "-rt".  I did it your way, too:

$ sudo mount -r -t ntfs /dev/sd0e /mnt
Password:
mount_ntfs: /dev/sd0e on /mnt: Argument list too long

	:-(

I suppose I could dd the whole thing to a file on my 1.6.1 box, and use
vnconfig to make it mountable.  If that would work.  But that seems like 3
ways around the barn.
