Try checking the partition number with fdisk or cfdisk. It usually is
something like /dev/hdd4 , instead of /dev/hdd.
Anybody know, why fdisk and cfdisk tells me that I have bootable fat16
partition on a zip-disk, that I partitioned again and formatted as ext2.
I can mount it as ext2 ok, but this seems a bit weird. A kernel-bug ?
(I'm using 2.1.101)
