reading a linux drive w/o disklabels?

2003-10-14 Thread David S. Jackson
Hi,

I've got a drive from a Linux box with partitions I need to read
before I reformat the drive.  All I have handy is FreeBSD boxes, but
when I try to read the drive in a freebsd box, it doesn't read or
recognize the disk slices from Linux.  Any howto's or tips on how to
handle this?

TIA!

/usr/ports/sysutils/gpart may be worth a look.
