server:/# ls
backuphda1  bin       dev     initrd      mnt   sbin        var
backuphda2  boot      etc     initrd.img  opt   server.cfg  vmlinuz
backuphda3  cdrom     floppy  lib         proc  tmp         vmlinuz.old
backuphda5  core.287  home    lost+found  root  usr

my boot file system looks like:

server:/boot# ls -l

when i try to mount to the /dev/hdc drive, i get this error:

server:/boot# mount -a
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1,
       or too many mounted file systems
       (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
       ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc2,
       or too many mounted file systems
       (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
