When sbp2 can log in, use fdisk to get basic partition info of

Ok, I'm back to the laptop seeing the iPod. I upgraded udev and re-wrote
the rules. Then I made a new symbolic link. I also have leftover in
/etc/fstab the following (I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not):
/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod2 auto ro,user 0 0

Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 19073.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

My laptop appears to think it's an empty iPod. I guess that means it's
HFS? Unfortunately I do not have a Windows machine with firewire that I
can try it with (and I am not willing to install Windows on my laptop). I
do have HFS support enabled in the kernel, I guess I'll try updating the
automount scripts to try reading the device as HFS?
