[clue-tech] mount second hard drive

[Bob Meetin]

Sorry but I am having little/no luck with this. I'm not a systems admin 
techy type.  I could use a series of options or commands to run to get 
the disk mounted correctly.  The drive I'm booting off is redhat 9; the 
drive I need to mount is fedora.

# mkdir /tmp2
# mount /dev/hdb1 /tmp2

This seems to mount the drive but all I see is config files, lost+found, 
vmlinuz.... etc.  If I try something like

# mount /dev/hdb2 /tmp2

It says you must specifiy a file system type, so I added a variety of 
different options like

# mount -t ext /dev/hdb2 /tmp2  (ext2, ext3, ext2nfs. etc... )

They all return fs type not supported by kernel.
