Is it possible to mount a partition on a Zip disc with a DOS partition
format? I wish to be able to transfer files between my RiscPC and a
Linux/i386 computer. The disc currently has a ext2 partition created
on the Linux machine, with a DOS partition table. Before this it had
an ffs partition and a BSD partition table. NetBSD only sees the old
BSD bootblock, which appears to be still there.

The arm32/arm32/disksubr.c file does not appear to have any support for
DOS partition tables, despite the comments in the file. I seem to
remember a mention of this on the mailing list before, and had thought
that the latest kernels would support DOS partition tables.
