Thanks Moinak (for the real work), thanks Pradhap (for the blog and
publicity) and thanks Vijay (for leading me there) ...

I managed to install things flawless. Only that all the binaries were
put in /usr/bin (not /usr/sbin as expected)

-bash-3.2# which prtpart
/usr/bin/prtpart
-bash-3.2#

The mounting of the linux partition went flawless, and I could read
into the ext3 partition just fine. But then, it somehow did not work
for my NTFS partition:


-bash-3.2# prtpart /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0 -ldevs

Fdisk information for device /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0

** NOTE **
/dev/dsk/c1d0p0      - Physical device referring to entire physical disk
/dev/dsk/c1d0p1 - p4 - Physical devices referring to the 4 primary partitions
/dev/dsk/c1d0p5 ...  - Virtual devices referring to logical partitions

Virtual device names can be used to access EXT2 and NTFS on logical partitions

/dev/dsk/c1d0p1	IFS: NTFS
/dev/dsk/c1d0p2	Solaris x86
/dev/dsk/c1d0p3	BSD/386,386BSD,NetBSD,FreeBSD
/dev/dsk/c1d0p4	DOS Extended
/dev/dsk/c1d0p5	Linux swap
/dev/dsk/c1d0p6	Linux native
/dev/dsk/c1d0p7	Linux native

-bash-3.2#

-bash-3.2# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1d0p1:d /mnt/windows
mount: /dev/dsk/c1d0p1:d is not a DOS filesystem.
-bash-3.2#

Thnaks again to all of you ...
