Partition 0 ends at 782207 and partition 1 starts at 782208.
The partition numbering is a little odd: /dev/disk0/0 refers to the whole disk. So sector 0 of this will be the MBR with the partition table. /dev/disk0/1 refers to the first partition, /dev/disk0/2 to the second and so on. So you probably want to try mounting /dev/disk0/2. -- Nick Garnett eCos Kernel Architect http://www.ecoscentric.com The eCos and RedBoot experts -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
