You might try "mount -t ufs /dev/hdb1 > /mnt/temp4sol" (although partition 1 probably is swap, in which case > that won't work). > Several years ago (98) I had Solaris installed along side Linux until a RedHat install trashed it. Solaris' partition type is 82 same as Linux swap. If I recall properly Solaris took the partition I installed on and subdivided it and I got better info out of my boot messages (try dmesg | less) than I did from 'fdisk -l'.

You may even have to build it first, though it may already be on your install disk or look in /lib/modules/*/kernel/fs/ufs/ for ufs.o Enjoy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
