I have Debian Linux and NetBSD 1.5.2 both installed on my Laptop. Here is the
Linux fdisk output of the partition table on the 1st harddisk.
----
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 2584 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 5 31216+ 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(4, 31, 63) should be (4, 239, 63)
/dev/hda2 5 1305 9828504 a9 Unknown
/dev/hda4 1305 2584 9671256 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 1305 1576 2048224+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 1576 1915 2560288+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 1915 2186 2048224+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 2186 2203 131512+ 82 Linux swap

As displayed the NetBSD partition is /dev/hda2, /dev/hda1 is the Linux /boot
partition, the rest of the Linux system is in /dev/hda4.. If I want to mount
he Linux partitions /dev/hda[5-8] what devices files should I specify to
mount_ext2fs?
Thanks,
Wayne
