mount partition or disk



Hello,

is there an easy (or canonical) way of (auto)detecting whether a disk is
partitioned, please?

What I have is a SCSI magneto-optical disk drive (230MB removable disks)
and a bunch of disks. With some of the disks, I need to mount /dev/sda1,
with others /dev/sda directly.

(The disks have existing data on them, written under DOS, obviously various
versions of either DOS or the driver.)

Any suggestions?
