Hi, I'd like to read on a x86 box a disk I used on a pegasos2 box. I'm going to use the disk through a pata2usb external box.
I tried plugging the disk in. The system detects the disk (sda) but not
the partitions (sda1, sda2, etc.).
I wanted to check if the external box was working properly. So I used
the external box with a dos partitioned disk and the system could detect
the partitions successfully.
At first I thought it was somehow related to "CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION". I
gave for granted it was enabled but it wasn't. So I recompiled the
kernel. Now it's enabled, but the system still doesn't detect the
partitions.
Somebody suggeted installing "mac-fdiks". As far as I know that would
help only if I wanted to edit the partition table but "mac-fdisk"
itself doesn't let the system to detect the partitions (does it?).
Somebody else suggested enabling "CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL". I don't know
what it is for though.
Another thing that came to my mind was "CONFIG_AMIGA_PARTITION" but on
no strong basis. Just because, if I recollect correctly, morphos was
somehow based (but I'm really not sure about that) on amiga or something
like that.
Could anybody please give me a pointer?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
