 I'm running release 5.1.

Try to boot it the way you do it for Windows.

 Why most of bin (sbin) utilities are so big.

Do a file /bin/rm for example. They are linked static, so they don't
depend on any libs, but are bigger because of that.

Just try it for yourself. A simple hello world program: 
~$ gcc -o hello hello.c
~$ ls -lh hello
-rwxr-xr-x  1 stoerte  stoerte  4.4K Aug 28 20:15 hello*
~$ gcc -static -o hello hello.c
~$ ls -lh hello
-rwxr-xr-x  1 stoerte  stoerte70K Aug 28 20:16 hello*

cheers,

Re: mounting linux ext3 partition

 mount_ext2fs /dev/ad1 /mnt
ad1 means the whole disk.

 The data for partition 1 is:
 sysid 131 (0x83),(Linux native)
 start 63, size 78156162 (38162 Meg), flag 80 (active)
  beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
  end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
Then you want ad1s1 I guess.
