Re: How do I access dos partitions?

Create a directory where you want the dos partition to be. Lets call it
dos/ in /.
then just issue a command
mount partition /dos
where partition is /dev/hd??, where your dos partition is located.
You may have to specify a filesystem type:
mount -t type partition /dos
For that to work the support for that file system type has to be compiled
into kernel (dos and vfat are usually there by default).

LILO.
