Hi, Is mac-fdisk a mount command or is it a way to used fdisk under Yellow Dog on a Mac?
Generally speaking you mount *partitions* so it would be mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/firewire-1 Under normal linux you could do fdisk -l /dev/sdb and get a listing of partitions on sdb. You might try to find the equivalent for Yellow Dog I suppose. I run 4 external 1394 drives on x86 so I can help out if you get a better response from one of these command ideas.
