Here are the error msgs I get on a mount attempt:
1000.root@kinder:/root>> mount /mars/azip
hdc:<5>ll_rw_block: device 16:00: only 512-char blocks implemented (1024)
Dev 16:00: unable to read RDB block 0
unknown partition table
AFFS: Could not determine device size
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1,
or too many mounted file systems
hdc:<5>ll_rw_block: device 16:00: only 512-char blocks implemented (1024)
Dev 16:00: unable to read RDB block 0
unknown partition table
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
And on bootup, witht he zip disk in:
