In addition to what Andrei pointed out, a more primitive and limited way
would be access via mtools. Read the mtools manpages for information
what to specify in the relevant system file (sorry, forgot its name;
it's somewhere in /etc). This is a possible way if you just want to copy
things from that partition, ie treat it the same way as you treat a
diskette, allowing access without mounting the device.
