Hi,

I've got a CDROM (Sun Solaris 9 Disk 1) that has two partitions on it, and I need to be able to mount the second partition. On Linux, when I put the CD in I can only mount the first partition, though I can see the second through fdisk.

Code:
Disk /dev/cdrom (Sun disk label): 1 heads, 640 sectors, 2048 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 640 * 512 bytes

     Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/cdrom1   r         0       992    317440    4  SunOS usr
/dev/cdrom2   r       992      2016    327680    2  SunOS root
/dev/cdrom3          2016      2024      2560    0  Empty
/dev/cdrom4          2024      2032      2560    0  Empty
/dev/cdrom5          2032      2040      2560    0  Empty
/dev/cdrom6          2040      2048      2560    0  Empty


This partition table shows the layout of the CD. I could pull this into an ISO image, and muck via loopback, but I'm not sure how to slice out the single second partition.. my efforts thus far haven't given me a readable partition/file.

thanks,
paul
