Hi Jens

Here's where I've got to:

pwd
/target/proc
cat partitions
major minor  #blocks  name

   2     0       1440 fd0 
   3     0    4209408 hda 
   3     1         31 hda1 
   3     2         27 hda2 
   3     3         37 hda3 
   3     4        256 hda4 
   3     5     264097 hda5 
   3     6     146484 hda6 
   3     7    1496094 hda7 
   3     8     604492 hda8 
   3     9     113281 hda9 
   3    10    1363281 hda10 
   3    11     221324 hda11 

dd if=/target/dev/hda5 of=/target/dev/null count=42 bs=1k 
42+0 records in 
42+0 records out

Any clues here?

Regards

Clive
