Alex....hda is the master drive on the primary IDE controller. Are you
sure that is your superdisk? It's usually an IDE hard drive. Also, the
numbers represent partitions on the hard drive. A superdisk has no
partitions so is usually just hda or hdb or hdc...etc. Another thing,
/mnt is a directory where you commonly put your mount point directories,
so you will probably need to make a directory in /mnt like /sd....so it
wold look like this /mnt/sd ...ok? Hope this helps you out (-:
