fdisk -l tells me no valid partition table. I took the HD out of a Mac that won't boot to desktop, thinking the problem may be an overstuffed disk that simply needs some disk cleanup, and mounted it as sole device on the #2 PATA controller as /dev/sdc. Don't Mac disks use a GPT, similar to recent Vista systems? Is this doable somehow in x86 11.0 or Factory?
What kind of Mac? PPC or Intel? I've never been able to get an x86 system to read a PPC partition table.
I meant to write G4, but forgot. :-( Since writing, I looked in YaST2 hwinfo, which found 7 partitions on the disk. I tried mount -t auto on them all, and all failed to mount. I tried mount -t hfs on them all. 6 failed, but nothing useful showed up on #7. :-( -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." James 1:19 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
