disklabel wd0

This will tell you where the dos partition is.  Mine happens to be
wd0e if that matters.

wd1<partion>.  Again, disklabel will tell you.  If it has a linux
partition, I don't know what happens, but I suspect that it will be
just like a DOS partition.

: 3 How do I union mount that pcmcia disk(128) correctly.
: 	It has all the compiling tools on it. I was doing it over nfs like
: this:
: mount -o union,exec machine:/nfs/z50/usr /usr
: 
: 	the two problems are;
: 	1 it still wont execute binaries, what am I missing?
: 	2 changes are made to the 128 not the 256. Can this change?

No clue.

: 4 Can I union mount / ? It seems no.
: 	machine:/nfs/z50 has an unzip of the comp.tgz package with /usr
: and /lib. do I need to mount them seperately? It would make sence.

I've never been able to successfully do this.
